The Malawi anaesthetic machine. Experience with a new type of anaesthetic apparatus for developing countries.
One year's experience with a new type of oxygen concentrator and anaesthetic machine, designed for anaesthesia in developing countries, is presented. The apparatus, its performance and problems are described and the author's suggested modifications to improve the original design are outlined. The apparatus, with these changes, represents a significant advance in oxygen availability for hospital...
متن کاملClinical experience with the oxygen concentrator.
The oxygen concentrator is an accepted means of delivery of long term domiciliary oxygen treatment. Conditions of use, however, need to be carefully defined. Fourteen concentrators were used for one year by patients with hypoxaemic chronic obstructive airways disease, and mechanical reliability, patient compliance with a regimen of 15 hours' use a day, smoking habits, and variation in arterial ...
متن کاملPortable pulse-dose oxygen concentrators should not be used with noninvasive ventilation.
An increasing number of patients, mainly COPD and overlap-syndrome patients, simultaneously use home oxygen therapy and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) at night. Usually the oxygen source is a stationary concentrator. We report a patient who, without a medical recommendation, was using a portable oxygen concentrator during nocturnal NIV. In the laboratory, with the patient, we tested the portabl...
متن کاملCost minimisation analysis of provision of oxygen at home: are the drug tariff guidelines cost effective?
OBJECTIVES To determine the level of oxygen cylinder use at which it becomes more cost effective to provide oxygen by concentrator at home in Northern Ireland, and to examine potential cost savings if cylinder use above this level had been replaced by concentrator in 1996. DESIGN Cost minimisation analysis. SETTING Area health boards in Northern Ireland. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Cost effecti...
متن کاملUse of jet mixing devices with an oxygen concentrator.
Jet mixing devices ("Venturi" devices) can be used in conjunction with domiciliary oxygen concentrators and provide delivered oxygen concentrations similar to those obtained with medical oxygen, though with the devices delivering higher concentrations (above 30% oxygen) the total flow is substantially reduced. A jet mixing device driven by a domiciliary concentrator would be valuable in various...
