Open Abdominal Surgery by Internal Ultrasound

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

ultrasonic probe
So far, the patients in whom it came after a severe inflammation of the pancreas to accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity – so-called pseudocysts – had to be frequently operated. However, it is now possible to drain the fluid from the pseudo-cysts in the stomach or small intestine. With the help of a gastroscope (stomach tube) is the puncture. As the Journal of Gastroenterology 2008, 46 reports the success rate is now even with newer devices that are equipped with an ultrasonic probe increased.

Oximeters and Sensors

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

oximeters

The oximeters measure oxygen saturation in the blood using a transcutaneous electrode with an infrared beam and shows us the heart rate.

Here are very complete models that calculate the measurement of CO2, O2 saturation, and apnea alarm feature, tricolor flag, among other functions.

The sensors are part of the interface between the oximeter and patient. We have wide variety of sensors, whether articulated, reusable or disposable, which are suited to each situation and patient.

Oximeter 8500 m
Pulse oximeter saturation figures showing and heart rate. Ideal for intermittent records pulse and oxygen saturation. The printer memory is optional as is the case.

9500 Oximeter
From the smallest on the market. It features integrated sensor tricolor indicator to facilitate the correct reading. Weight 62gr. Uses 2 AAA batteries lasting approx. 12 continuous hours.

Researchers Develop Blood Glucometro Portable

Monday, April 5th, 2010

blood check

Two years ago, a researcher at Baylor University developed an accurate and effective electromagnetic sensor that provides non-diabetic one alternative invasive to measure their glucose levels. There was only one problem: it was too big to upload.

Today, researchers at Baylor announced that they have developed a sensory method that uses a circuit board small enough so that the device is portable.

A Portable Device to Measure the Radiation

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

portable deviceIn vivo dosimetry can be agitated out added generally and added safe and adequate for the accommodating through the arresting processing algorithm of a accessory created by the University of Granada.

Researchers at the Department of Electronics and Computer Technology, University of Granada have designed a portable device that evaluates the ionizing radiation received by patients in each radiation treatment. The system has two parts: the sensor, which is placed over the patient, and the reading unit, where it is administered once the sensor radiation.
