WHAT IS NABULIZER

 Nebulizer:

  •   Nebulizer is used when water or some type of medication suspended in the inspired air as an aerosol is to be given to the patient.
  •  A nebulizer is a breathing machine used to treat respiratory illnesses, such as asthma.
  • In this device, the water or medication is picked up by a high velocity jet of air/oxygen and is inhaled by the patient through nose or mouth.
  • The nebulizer turns the air and oxygen into aerosol with medicine, and this is what patients will inhale to make them breathe easier, curing their asthma or respiratory problem.
 
 

       Procedure/Operation:

  • Open the nebulizer cup by turning the upper part counter-clockwise.
  • Pour the quantity of drug as prescribed by the physician into the cup.
  • Close the nebulizer by turning the upper part clockwise
  • Connect the cup to the unit’s air outlet by means of the tube.
  • Apply one of the required accessories: mouth-piece or mask, to the cup.
  • Start the unit by turning the switch on.
  • See that the medication in the nebulizer cup is forming the mist.
  •  Put your lips securely around the mouth-piece, or mask around your face and inhale as slowly and deeply as possible.

MICROPROCESSOR BASED VENTILATOR

Microprocessor based Ventilator   Figure shows the block diagram of microprocessor controlled ventilator.(given below). It consists of two inter-connected systems: The Pneumatic flow system and an Electronic control system. The pneumatic flow system enables the flow of gas through the ventilator. Oxygen and medical grade air enter the ventilator at 3.5 bar (50 psi) pressure. These gasses enter the air/oxygen mixer where they combine and gasses then enter a large reservoir tank. An electronically controlled flow valve proportions the gas flow from the reservoir tank to the patient breathing circuit.   As the gasses leave the ventilator, they pass by an oxygen analyzer, a safety ambient air inlet valve and a back-up mechanical over pressure valve. The microprocessor controls each valve to deliver the desired inspiratory air and oxygen flows for mandatory and spontaneous ventilation. The electronic control system may use one or...

DC defibrillator principle & defibrillator.

                          DC DEFIBRILLATOR:   In almost all present-day DC defibrillators, an energy storage capacitor is charged at a relatively slow rate (seconds) from the AC line by means of a step-up transformer and rectifier arrangement or from a battery and a DC to DC converter arrangement the energy stored in the capacitor is then delivered at relatively rapid rate (millisecond) to the chest of the patient.             The basic circuit diagram of a DC defibrillator is shown in Figure. A variable auto-transformer T1 forms the primary of a high voltage transformer T2. The output voltage of the transformer is rectified by a diode rectifier and is connected to a vacuum type high voltage change-over switch. In position A, the switch is connected to on...

BED SIDE MONITOR/ MULTI PARA MONITOR

Bed side Monitor/ Multi-para Monitor: The Bed side monitoring system is designed to display an electrocardiogram, heart rate with high and low alarms, pulse rate, dynamic pressure or other waveforms received from external preamplifiers. The system basically consists of three circuit blocks: Preamplifier section, Logic boards and Display part. Various amplified signals are carried to a multiplexer and then to an analog-to-digital converter, included in the logic board. The central processing unit along with memory gives X and Y output for the CRT display. The character generator output is mixed with the Y output for the CRT display. The alarm settings, selection switches for different parameters and the defibrillator synchronization system communicate with the CPU.   The alarm signals are also initiated under its control. The memory comprises 5K bytes ROM and 3.25K bytes RAM with 256 samples of ECG It basically co...
