An inpatient treatment with a planned or unforeseen operation interrupts a family's daily routine. The following information will help you to prepare for your child's hospitalisation.
We all aim to make your child's stay as pleasant as possible. That is why we work closely as a team with the anaesthetists, nursing staff, physiotherapists and all necessary therapists. We are convinced that close co-operation is essential for your child's healing process.
The paediatric surgery ward has a technically well-equipped examination / treatment room. If necessary, dressings are changed or ultrasound examinations and blood samples etc. are carried out there.
I pack my suitcase and take it with me:
- Inpatient referral and insurance card (for those with statutory health insurance), vaccination card
- Medication that is taken regularly, special diet if necessary due to illness
- Cuddly toy
- Comfortable, not too tight-fitting clothing, including short-sleeved tops with button placket, underwear, pyjamas with button placket
- Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, ...)
- Slippers
- Toys, colouring and craft items, books
- Electronic media with charging cable, headphones
- Familiar pillow
- A familiar drinking vessel (e.g. baby bottle with teat),
- Favourite snack, own baby food if necessary
In our clinic, it is possible for an accompanying person to be admitted with the child. Up to the age of 9, the parents receive meals on the ward. The admission of an accompanying person is welcome to support the child. Accompanying persons may stay overnight free of charge on a guest bed provided by us.
ATTENTION:
Depending on the corona situation, our visitor rules and the admission of accompanying persons may change.
Please ask the nursing staff for the current status.
The time for parents to ask questions is the ward round. This takes place daily between 7.30 am and 8.15 am, on Wednesdays and at weekends at around 9.00 am.
During this time, doctors and nursing staff visit your child together and ask about any special incidents. There will be a brief, symptom-related examination and you will have the opportunity to ask questions about your child's treatment and length of stay. Please always remain in your room at this time. You should make a separate appointment for longer consultations.
06:15 to 06:35
13:15 to 13:45
20:00 to 20:15
During the handover, all important information concerning your child will be passed on to your colleagues.
In urgent cases, you may/must of course ring the patient bell AT ANY TIME!
- Please always sign out with the nurse in charge when you leave the ward, as important medication or examinations may be planned. In addition, it is not always possible to leave the ward for monitoring and hygiene reasons.
- Discharges are possible at any time, even at weekends. For organisational reasons, however, you may not be discharged until the afternoon. We ask for your understanding and a little patience. Inhalers and clinical thermometers are the property of the clinic and remain on the ward.
Breakfast:
7:15 - 8:45 a.m.
Lunch:
11:45 - 13:00
Dinner:
17:00 - 20:00
There are no restrictions for parents between 7:00 and 20:00. An accompanying person is welcome to stay with the child during the night. For reasons of space and hygiene, and out of consideration for other patients, only two people (including the mother) may visit the child in the room at any one time. Children under the age of 14 are not allowed on the ward.
We are happy to make an exception for healthy siblings (i.e. if they do not have a cough, cold, sore throat, fever, vomiting or diarrhoea, or no "childhood illnesses"). However, always discuss this with the carer responsible for you before the visit.
Sibling care is offered free of charge.
ATTENTION:
Depending on the corona situation, our visitor rules and the admission of accompanying persons may change.
Please ask the nursing staff for the current status.
Are there toys on the ward?
Our ward has its own playroom. You can meet there to play, do handicrafts and other activities during your stay as an inpatient. So it won't be boring. Patients who are unable to leave their bed due to their illness can of course take games etc. to their bedside. A television and WLAN connection are also available in the patient room.
The clinic clown also regularly visits the young patients. (Unfortunately, he is not allowed to come to our clinic during corona times, but he can regularly be found in front of the main entrance to the clinic so that young patients can visit the clown there if they are able to leave their bed).
At the Hans-Lebrecht-Schule, a special education and counselling centre for pupils undergoing long-term hospital treatment at Ulm University Hospital, around 340 children and young people of all school types who are undergoing semi-inpatient or inpatient treatment at the university hospitals in Ulm are taught by special school teachers, primary, lower secondary and intermediate school teachers, secondary school teachers and grammar school teachers in the two departments, child and adolescent psychiatry/psychotherapy and bedside teaching, in one school year.
