Anaesthetic equipment for a developing country.
A development aid project to Malawi is described. This involved the development of a suitable anaesthetic machine for use in under-developed countries and the selection of a suitable oxygen concentrator to provide it with air and oxygen. All government hospitals were provided with anaesthetic equipment and personnel were trained to keep it regularly serviced. Follow up testing of reliability wa...
متن کاملAnaesthetic monitoring equipment for small animals
In 1990, Clarke and Hall carried out a survey of anaesthetic mortality in small animal practice. Their findings suggested that approximately 1 in 679 healthy dogs and cats died as a result of anaesthesia, while the figure increased to 1 in 31 for sick patients. More recently, the preliminary results of a Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Small Animal Fatalities (CEPSAF) indicated that the...
متن کاملChecking anaesthetic equipment: AAGBI 2012 guidelines.
The modern anaesthetic machine is a complex device. It has evolved from a ‘trolley’ that did little more than deliver gas to the patient, into a ‘workstation’ with multiple delivery modalities, multiple safety features and multiple integrated monitoring devices. In addition, we have at our disposal many more pieces of complex equipment, separate from the anaesthesia workstation itself, to help ...
متن کاملA medical equipment replacement model.
A simple mathematical model has been developed to identify and prioritize medical equipment in need of replacement. The model contains a total of ten attributes addressing four primary replacement issues: equipment service and support; equipment function; cost benefits; and clinical efficacy. Sensitivity to incomplete or subjective data is significantly reduced through the use of a "yes-no" (0,...
متن کاملThe Equipment-Replacement Problem
To illustrate these assumptions, let us consider a simple numerical example. Suppose a car is needed for three years; that is, suppose N = 3. At the beginning of the first year, we have a 2-year-old car. The annual cost of operating a car is a function of its age; and this cost function is given by: c(0) = 10, c(1) = 20, c(2) = 40, c(3) = 60, and c(4) = 70. The fact that these costs are increas...
