What are the uses of an infusion pump?
An infusion pump is a medical device that is used to move the fluids used in medicine (solutions, drugs, blood) through a tube into the patient’s vascular system, allowing more accurate management of the fluids used by doctors. This is why it facilitates the parenteral administration of drugs and solutions, and they are mainly used in conditions where precision and a constant supply of some drug or medicine is essential.
Care and maintenance of an electroscalpel
An electroscalpel is a medical device that has the property of transforming electrical energy into heat to cut or coagulate tissues and cauterize them at once, for which it uses currents that develop at frequencies above 200,000 Hz. This equipment has connections for active and return electrodes, as well as controls that allow to determine the voltage and frequency of the electrical current to carry out the desired effect, where each of the elements that make up the equipment have a specific function to carry out the cutting or coagulation effect as necessary.
How does an electroscalpel work?
An electroscalpel is a medical device that converts electrical energy into heat to cut or coagulate tissues and cauterize them at the same time, using currents that develop at frequencies above 200,000 Hz. This device is composed of a series of individual units that together form an electrical circuit, where the current flows from a generator to an active electrode through the tissue and then back to the generator by the action of an inactive dispersion electrode.
How is phototherapy done in babies?
Phototherapy is a procedure that is applied to newborns who have jaundice, where their condition changes yellowish in the skin and eyes of babies, this is due to excess bilirubin in the blood. Usually, it leaves the body through bowel movements. This is because the baby’s system breaks down blood cells but does not remove bilirubin.
How do you prepare a radiant crib?
A radiant cradle is an electromedical equipment with wheels used to provide newborns with a comfortable thermal area that maintains their body temperature from 36 to 37 degrees. The thermal environment of this equipment can be controlled manually or by a servocontrol mechanism.
How to remove the yellow from a baby at home?
The yellow in the skin of a newborn is called jaundice, is a condition in which he drinks has high levels of bilirubin in the blood, which is a yellow substance that the body of the newborn produces when it replaces the old red blood cells, in this process the liver intervenes, it fulfills the function of eliminating this substance through the feces of the baby, when this does not happen causes the skin and the sclera of the eyes of a baby to look yellow.
Paraffin Embedding
For the embedding of histological samples to be observed under the light microscope, paraffin is mainly used, and to a lesser extent celloidin, as embedding medium.
Chemotherapy: What type of laminar flow hoods are used?
To treat chemotherapy drugs are used that are highly dangerous, and require a series of precautions to be processed and administered, so when choosing a laminar flow hoods to prepare these medicines, we must take into account that they can cause harm to other people exposed to them, to people who handle chemotherapy drugs.
Horizontal laminar flow hoods: What is your application?
A laminar flow hoods is a laboratory equipment used to obtain a pollution-free environment, as it provides a sterile and safe area within the laboratory, and any activity that is required safely can be carried out there.
Why use an infusion pump?
These devices are part of the medical line, they use artificial energy able to provide a positive pressure to the liquid to infuse accurately and safely in the infusion of drugs under strict flow control, one of its characteristics is that they exceed small occlusion pressures and resistance that oppose the infusion antibacterial filters and arterial lines, in addition they can infuse drugs with great precision at very low speeds.
