متن کاملEvaluation of the Ohmeda 3700 pulse oximeter.
Arterial oxygen saturation values (Sao2) from 60% to 98% were measured by the Ohmeda 3700 pulse oximeter with the three types of probe available and compared with values of oxygen saturation estimated from direct arterial sampling (arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide tensions and pH) on 65 occasions. The response time of the oximeter was measured after a sudden rise in inspired oxygen concentrat...
متن کاملThe Glostavent: evolution of an anaesthetic machine for developing countries.
The sophisticated anaesthetic machines designed for use in modem hospitals are not appropriate for many parts of the developing world, as they are reliant on regular servicing by skilled engineers and an uninterrupted supply of electricity and compressed gases, which are not always available. The Glostavent has been designed specifically to meet the challenges faced by anaesthetists working in ...
متن کاملThe anaesthetic machine--a study of function and design.
A study of the time and motion of the anaesthetists' routine activities was made using conventional equipment. Films of manual and visual movements were studied in detail and the expectations of certain consultant anaesthetists regarding apparatus were recorded. Models of apparatus were used to test their acceptability. A modular system appeared preferable to a work station or to adaptation of ...
