The first anaesthetic in South Africa.
IT is generally accepted that the era of medical anaesthesia opened for the world in the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, in October 1846 when W. J. G. Morton (i8i6-68), a Boston dentist, successfully anaesthetized a patient upon whom J. C. Warren (I778-I856) performed a painless operation. One of the spectators was the eminent American surgeon H. J. Bigelow (I8I8-9o). Whilst Morton's cl...

Mechanical ventilators used in intensive care units are sophisticated devices. The guiding principle in their design is the provision of optimal lung ventilation. They incorporate precise but sizeable pneumatic components intended to utilize piped gases and mains electricity. However, when transporting patients receiving ventilatory support, these devices are rarely suitable because of their si...
متن کاملCement Windows and Ventilators
(Hi) Materials.?The aggregate may be made with 1 part of cement and 3 to 4 of sand, or 1 of cement with 1 of sand and 3 of coal ashes.

Moulds should be emptied, i.e., windows cast, on a layer of sand, spread out and levelled, to prevent stic...
متن کاملA comparison of turbine-driven mechanical ventilators and conventional ventilators
Turbine-driven mechanical ventilators have some important advantages over conventional ventilators. The most obvious of these is independence of compressed air supply during patient transport, but higher NIV performance due to higher peak flow is also often mentioned. However, there is still a widespread belief that conventional ventilators using compressed air supplies outperform turbine-drive...
