CARDIAC MONITOR a device for the continuous observation of cardiac function. It may include electrocardiograph and oscilloscope readings, recording devices, and a visual and/or audible record of heart function and rhythm. An alarm system may be set to identify abnormal rhythms or heart rates. PULSE OXIMETER is to measure the oxygen saturation level of a person. It is used to determine how many oxygen molecules are attached to the hemoglobin molecules found in the blood. A maximum of four oxygen molecules can attach themselves to one hemoglobin molecule. The normal percentage of a person would be around 90 SWAN GANS catheter is the passing of a thin tube (catheter) into the right side of the heart and the arteries leading to the lungs to monitor the heart's function and blood flow, usually in persons who are very ill. Swan-Ganz catheter a soft, flow-directed catheter with a balloon at the tip for measuring pulmonary arterial pressures.ARTERIAL LINES in catheter inserted into an artery. It is most commonly used in intensive care medicine and anesthesia to monitor the blood pressure real-time (rather than by intermittent measurement), and to obtain samples for arterial blood gas measurements. It is not generally used to administer medication. central venous tube A catheter (tube) that is passed through a vein to end up in the thoracic (chest) portion of the vena cava (the large vein returning blood to the heart) or in the right atrium of the heart. A chest tube is a hollow tube placed between the lung and the chest wall (pleural space). The chest tube provides a way to drain air, blood or other fluids that may have accumulated in the pleural space. The pleural space normally has a small amount of fluid within ENDOTracheal tube is a catheter that is inserted into the trachea in order for the primary purpose of establishing and maintaining a patent airway and to ensure the adequate exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. URINARY C retained by means of a balloon at the tip that is inflated with sterile water. The balloons typically come in two different sizes: 5 cm3 and 30 cm3. They are commonly made in silicone. TRACHESTOMY TUBE To relieve breathing difficulties or upper airway obstruction. To improve respiratory function by reducing length of the airway in special lung conditions.If you inherited abnormality of larynx or trachea.If you have inability to swallow or cough with an impaired vocal function. rubber or natural rubber. VENTILATOR In its simplest form, a modern positive pressure ventilator consists of a compressible air reservoir or turbine, air and oxygen supplies, a set of valves and tubes, and a disposable or reusable "patient circuit". The air reservoir is pneumatically compressed several times a minute to deliver roomair, or in most cases, an air/oxygen mixture to the patient. If a turbine is used, the turbine pushes air through the ventilator, with a flow valve adjusting pressure to meet patient-specific parameters. When overpressure is released, the patient will exhale passively due to the lungs' elasticity, the exhaled air being released usually through a one-way valve within the patient circuit called the patient manifold. The oxygen content of the inspired gas can be set from 21 percent (ambient air) to 100 percent (pure oxygen). Pressure and flow characteristics can be set mechanically or electronically.
