A sphygmomanometer, also known as a blood pressure monitor, or blood pressure gauge, is a device used to measure blood pressure, composed of an inflatable cuff to collapse and then release the artery under the cuff in a controlled manner,and a mercury manometer to measure the pressure. Manual sphygmomanometers are used with a stethoscope when using the auscultatory technique.
A Riester sphygmomanometer consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit (the mercury manometer, or aneroid gauge), and a mechanism for inflation which may be a manually operated bulb, It uses mercury.
Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive method for monitoring a person’s oxygen saturation. Though its reading of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) is not always identical to the more desirable reading of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) from arterial blood gas analysis, the two are correlated well enough that the safe, convenient, noninvasive, inexpensive pulse oximetry method is valuable for measuring oxygen saturation in clinical use.
In its most common (transmissive) application mode, a sensor device is placed on a thin part of the patient’s body, usually a fingertip or earlobe, or in the case of an infant, across a foot. The device passes two wavelengths of light through the body part to a photodetector. It measures the changing absorbance at each of the wavelengths, allowing it to determine the absorbances due to the pulsing arterial blood alone, excluding venous blood, skin, bone, muscle, fat, and (in most cases) nail polish.
Reflectance pulse oximetry is a less common alternative to transmissive pulse oximetry. This method does not require a thin section of the person’s body and is therefore well suited to a universal application such as the feet, forehead, and chest, but it also has some limitations. Vasodilation and pooling of venous blood in the head due to compromised venous return to the heart can cause a combination of arterial and venous pulsations in the forehead region and lead to spurious SpO2 results. Such conditions occur while undergoing anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation or in patients in the Trendelenburg position.
A nebulizer turns liquid medicine into a mist, it is portable, electric version.
Made up of a base that holds an air compressor, small container for the liquid medicine and a tube that connects the air compressor to the medicine container.
Above the medicine container is a mouth piece or a mask you use to inhale the mist.
Ideal to use when you are having an asthma attack, can be used with younger children.
A ripple mattress is a special mattress type of mattress that works by inflating air in the cells and alternating the air to each and every cell in the mattress.
The bed-type medical air cushion is composed with two parts: main frame and air cushion. The air cushion has two separate ballonet. Under the control of the main frame every ballonet can touch a different part of the body every six minutes. the fluctuation ballonet can expedite blood circulating to avoid the appearance of the bedsore on the patients who stay in bed for long. so that to cure the bedsore quickly or prevent the sore all together.
Bedsores properly known as pressure ulcers are caused by many factors such as unrelieved pressure, friction, humidity, temperature and medication.
bedsores are fatal however we can prevent it from happening by using a ripple mattress.
