Country 105 FM’s Caring for Kids Radiothon is underway. The event, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, raises money for vital life-saving equipment at Alberta Children’s Hospital.“We can’t get parts for them. very hard to maintain and repair when they do break,” said Dr. Adam Spencer referring to the existing ultrasound machines at the hospital. The pediatric anesthesiologist added those machines are nearing their technical lifespan.

Newer ultrasounds allow Dr. Spencer to be more precise when inserting anesthetic into tiny bodies. Clearer images at a surface level can make all the difference when avoiding a potential mistake, which can lead to nerve damage or worse.
