Fetal and Neonatal Monitoring; Used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for Continuous Monitoring of the Neonates and Infants

 

Fetal and Neonatal Monitoring

Fetal and Neonatal Monitoring or fetal and neonatal monitoring devices are used to monitor heart rate, oxygen level, blood pressure, and vital physiological parameters of the fetus and contractions in the mother’s uterus. These are often used for continuous monitoring of the fetus and the mother to avoid any kind of harm. These devices are also used to monitor neonatal diseases, lung diseases, hypothermia, chronic mental retardation, jaundice in fetus, and vision & hearing problems. Thus, there is an increase in demand for such devices worldwide.

Fetal and Neonatal Monitoring devices are also essential for the health and well-being of infants and neonates. Electronic fetal monitoring is a test used to track baby's heartbeat during labor or in the office. It provides real-time information about how baby is doing through labor and delivery. Fetal heart rate monitoring devices measures the heart rate and rhythm of the fetus (baby). Internal monitoring provides a more accurate and consistent transmission of the heart rate than external monitoring because factors such as movement do not affect it.

Fetal and Neonatal Monitoring devices are used to assess heart rate and contractions of the uterus during pregnancy and childbirth. Neonatal monitoring is often used to monitor vital physiological parameters of infants; premature infants, full term infants that are critically ill, and a combination thereof. The system transmits the baby's oxygen levels, heart rate, sleep quality, skin temperature, and sleep position to a parent or guardian's smartphone. Physiological parameters of the child and mother are checked continuously even during delivery of the child.

Fetal and Neonatal Monitoring devices are vital tools routinely used in gynecological and obstetric interventions to examine fetal (baby) health during labor and delivery. In June 2020, Royal Philips launched wireless Avalon CL Fetal and Maternal Pod and Patch to reduce unnecessary physical interactions between clinicians and patients. The launch is part of the broader innovative high-risk pregnancy solution which includes Philips perinatal analytics, and visualization software as well as an ultra-portable battery-operated fetal monitor.

Air Purifier works as a Sanitizer in the air which helps in reducing pollutants, allergens, and toxins

Image
  Air purifier   Within a confined area, an air purifier eliminates organic and inorganic impurities from the air. The clean air is sent out into the living space after these devices catch pollutants and particles in the air. Dust mites, mould spores, chemicals, poisons, and scents are all trapped by these filters. These gadgets are frequently touted as appropriate tools for asthmatic patients and others who suffer from airborne allergen allergies. An indoor Air purifier ensures the filtering of the air inside a closed room, which it catches and releases as clean air. If the windows may be opened, it functions in addition to the necessary natural ventilation. A contrast must be noted between a professional model and a residential device, since neither provides the same level of air treatment or overall performance. Pollens, fine particles PM2.5 and PM10, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), viruses, and germs are all effectively removed by a professional air purifier with a HEPA 13 or

Polyethylene Terephthalate Is A Non-Toxic Plastic, Mostly Used For Manufacturing Medical Devices

Image
  Polyethylene Terephthalate Polyethylene Terephthalate is an extremely common plastic. It is used in water bottles, clothing, baby wipes and many other items. The material is also a major component of many textiles. It can be melted or injected into molds to create a variety of shapes. It can also be used as a thin film that can protect products from light, heat and moisture. The material is a linear thermoplastic composed of repeating units of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It can be spun into fibers for synthetic fabrics, formed into containers for liquids and food, thermoformed into manufacturing parts, or combined with glass fiber to make engineering resins. Polyethylene Terephthalate is the most common plastic of the polyester family and is one of the most widely-used materials in the world. It is a strong, stiff plastic with good electrical insulating properties and excellent mechanical strength, transparency, gas barrier properties and stability over a wide temperat

With the use of High-Frequency alternating current, Radiofrequency Ablation Device convert Electromagnetic Energy into Heat Energy

Image
Radiofrequency Ablation Device RFA is a minimally invasive technique that may be done in a doctor's office or a hospital. The majority of patients are able to return home the same day. RFA can be done with or without minimal sedation. If anaesthesia is utilised, the patient is generally kept awake and alert enough to explain what they are feeling during the nerve stimulation and lesioning. The following are the steps involved in an RFA: ·         On a procedure table, the patient is lying on his or her stomach. An intravenous (IV) line is established if sedation is utilised so that relaxation medication (sedation) can be administered. ·         To reduce the danger of infection, the skin above the treatment region (neck, mid-back, or low back) is thoroughly washed. ·         A numbing drug (anaesthetic) is injected into the location of the RFA injection site to numb a small patch of skin. Radiofrequency ablation is a process that is reasonably safe and low-risk. Some pati
