Iranian Experts Make Anesthesia Machine to Determine Patient's Breathing Rate, Consciousness
“This artificial respiration device can take care of the patient's breathing for 4-5 hours during surgery. The monitor of this device shows a series of parameters to the doctor during surgery,” Hossein Azimzadeh, the deputy managing director of the knowledge-based company for technical affairs, told ANA.
“The level of anesthesia or the patient's breathing per minute is determined by this device,” he added.
Noting that at present only a few countries like Britain, the US, Germany, China and Iran have achieved the know-how of making this technology, Azimzadeh said, “Also, the 18-inch monitor of the device has been upgraded so that the user can make all the parameters manually. This model can be connected to a capnograph (a widely used medical product to measure the amount of carbon dioxide in the volume of saturated air from a patient's lung) and a laryngoscope (larynx examination using a small mirror or a hard and flexible tube).”
In a relevant development in April, specialists at an Iranian knowledge-based company had also produced an anesthesia machine with a ventilator for operating rooms.
“The product of our knowledge-based company is an anesthesia machine with a ventilator, which is used during surgeries in the operating room,” said Mohammad Reza Kompany, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
“After anesthetizing the patient with the relevant drugs, the device can smartly control all the patient's breathing processes during the surgery until its completion,” he added.
Noting that the can be used in medical centers and operating rooms, during surgery and is among medical equipment with highly advanced technology, Kompany said, “With continuous research and development, the device will stand among the most perfect equipment in the world market in the next few years.”
