Operating room equipment is an indispensable tool during surgery, mainly including the following categories:
Anesthesia machine: a machine used to implement general anesthesia, oxygen supply, assist or control breathing, and provide inhaled anesthetics. It consists of a gas supply system, anesthesia vaporizer, breathing circuit, and monitoring system, which monitors the patient's breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation and other vital signs in real time to ensure safety during surgery.
Monitor: used to monitor the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, breathing rate and other vital signs in real time to help doctors detect and deal with changes in the patient's condition in a timely manner. The monitor consists of sensors, signal processing systems, and displays, which can continuously monitor and record the patient's vital signs data to improve the safety of surgery.
Surgical microscope: used to magnify the surgical site, allowing doctors to see subtle structures more clearly and perform precise surgical operations. It consists of optical systems, mechanical systems, lighting systems, and control systems, and is widely used in neurosurgery, ophthalmology, otolaryngology and other fields.
Electrosurgical knife: Use high-frequency current to cut and stop bleeding, quickly and accurately cut tissue and reduce bleeding during surgery. The electrosurgical knife consists of a main unit, electrodes and foot switch, and requires doctors to master certain usage skills and experience.
Extracorporeal circulation machine: Replaces the patient's cardiopulmonary function during cardiac surgery to maintain blood circulation and oxygen supply. It plays a vital role in cardiac surgery.
C-arm machine: Used for X-ray fluoroscopy during surgery to help doctors perform surgical operations accurately.
Operating bed: Used to support the patient and adjust the position according to surgical needs, such as supine position, prone position, etc.
Shadowless lamp: Provides sufficient lighting to help doctors clearly observe the surgical site.
Suspended tower: Integrated medical auxiliary equipment with horizontal rotation function, which is convenient for medical staff to operate various medical equipment.
Infusion pump: Used to control the number of infusion drops or flow rate to ensure that the drug is evenly delivered to the patient's body.
High-frequency electrosurgical knife: Use high-frequency current to cut tissue and coagulate blood, reducing surgical time and bleeding.
Negative pressure aspirator: used to remove bleeding, exudate, etc. during surgery to keep the surgical field clear.
These devices perform their respective functions during the operation to ensure the smooth progress of the operation and the safety of the patient.
