Intensive care equipment
Intensive care equipment, devices. Intensive care medicine is a medical field which deals with the diagnosing and treatment of life- threatening conditions (for instance, multiple organ failure, acute renal failure) that require precise monitoring, organ support and constant attention. These medical problems can be result of accidents, infections, surgical complications. The intensive care is provided by specially trained medical staff in specialized wards, called intensive care units. Patients in intensive care units often can’t breathe on their own so they are attached to mechanical ventilation systems, they are usually unconscious so cannot eat and therefore are fed through nasogastric tubes or intravenously. These patients also have constantly inserted catheters for intravenous drugs. In renal conditions hemofiltration equipment (for example, dialyzer and water treatment system) is needed. There are nine key systems that are monitored to produce daily treatment plan: cardiovascular system, respiratory system, renal system, central nervous system, endocrine system, hematology, microbiology (because the threat of sepsis), gastro- intestinal tract and peripheries.
