A microprocessor-controlled gas mixing device.
This paper describes the use of solenoid valves for the production of binary gas mixtures. The system is controlled by a microprocessor and is capable of delivering accurate flows and concentrations of gases over the ranges commonly used in anaesthesia. Since the flow produced by the valves is pulsatile, a system for mixing the gases and smoothing the pulses is described. A back pressure regula...
متن کاملA technique for evaluating expired air mixing devices.
A simple method for measuring the efficiency of expired air mixing devices is described. Preliminary studies comparing a number of mixing chambers indicate that the bag-inbottle system is the most efficient. The dependence of mixing efficiency on VT, f and expired flow rate is demonstrated. Two types of mixing failure are distinguished. The clinical implications are discussed, including those r...
متن کاملThe value of expired gas analysis is never expired.
Complications of mechanical ventilation increase with duration. Delayed weaning and premature weaning are both associated with increasing complications. In addition, adverse events and deterioration relating to the ventilator system could happen any time. Therefore, accurate monitoring of the patient’s respiratory condition and adjustment of ventilator settings are essential during mechanical v...
متن کاملDeveloping a Device for Automated Peritoneal Dialysis
Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an efficient alternative for hemodialysis. Removal of waste metabolites and excess water from the blood circulation are the two main tasks done during dialysis. These are done by using a filter; in PD, the naturally semi-permeable peritoneal membrane acts as the filter. Automated PD machines control intelligently the operations to enhance the efficiency a...
متن کاملPollution control in the operating room: a simple device for the removal of expired anaesthesia vapours.
Foe ~ORE TrlAN A CENTLrRy atmospheric pollution in the operating room has been accepted as a necessary accompaniment of inhalation anaesthesia, and halitosis has been the trademark of the practising anaesthetist. Halothane was a pleasant change from the pungent lingering odour of ether, but there have always been a few members of the operating room staff who complained of headache following exp...
