to Know About

Introduction

• Disorders of the heart and some parts of the
  circulatory system are very critical and need
  appropriate attention at the right time.
• People suffering from heart diseases require
  constant care and constant monitoring of certain
  vital statistics.

Cardiac Care Equipment

• ECG Machine
• Electrocardiography is the process of recording
  the electrical activity of the patients heart
  over a period of time.
• It is very useful when trying to find the root
  cause of certain heart diseases especially when
  the patient is experiencing symptoms such as
  shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting etc.

• Doppler
• A Doppler is a kind of ultrasound scan that uses
  reflected sound waves to see how the blood flows
  through the blood vessels. Major arteries and
  veins in the arms, legs and neck can be easily
  tested.
• Low blood flow or blockages can be easily
  diagnosed and major diseases such as stroke etc
  can be avoided.

5

• Ultra Sound Machine
• Ultrasound machines enhance diagnosis by
  providing improved imaging of the internal organs
  of the body. 
• High frequency sound waves are sent by the
  machine and these waves are reflected by the
  organ structures.

6

• Infusion Pump
• An infusion pump is medical equipment that is
  used to deliver fluids.
• These kind of pumps are most commonly used in
  clinical settings especially in hospitals,
  nursing homes and sometimes even in home care
  facilities.
• AED Automated External Defibrillator
• The Automated External Defibrillator or the
  AED is a portable electronic device that
  automatically diagnoses cardiac arrhythmias of
  the ventricular fibrillation.

7

• Defibrillator
• Defibrillation is one of the treatments used for
  cardiac dysrhythmias which are a life
  threatening heart disease.
• A defibrillator is used to deliver a controlled
  dose of electric current to the heart. This is
  also called as a counter shock.
• Pulse Oximeter
• Pulse oximeter is used to monitor the oxygen
  saturation in a non-invasive way.
• Peripheral oxygen saturation and arterial oxygen
  saturation can be measured with this device.
