In these situations, even minor limitations in monitoring capability can lead to hypoxemia, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality during surgical procedures, making accurate and responsive oxygen concentration monitoring a critical safeguard for patient outcomes.4Recognizing the vital importance of precise oxygen monitoring, Cubic, an international manufacturer of advanced ...
The purpose of an anesthesia machine is to deliver precise amounts of anesthetic gases or medications to patients during surgical procedures to maintain anesthesia. ...
Gas molecules interact with infrared radiation, and the radiation-to-incident energy ratio depends on the gas concentration. Gas sensors gauge gas concentration by tracking the reduction in transmitted infrared light. ...

Safety is absolutely paramount in the medical industry, with lives literally at stake if something were to go wrong. Regrettably, this was more than reinforced recently following the tragic news of a death of a newborn at a hospital in Sydney, Australia, after it was mistakenly administered nitrous oxide (N2O) instead of oxygen (O2) in July this year. A tragic occurrence of similar ...

A unique gas measurement technology has enabled South Devon Healthcare’s Pharmacy Manufacturing Unit (PMU) at Torbay Hospital to conduct highly effective and detailed analysis of anaesthetic gases in a variety of hospital locations. The primary function of the PMU’s quality control department is to check active ingredient levels and sterility in manufactured pharmaceutical products. ...
In this article, Dr Petri Jaakkola, founder and Chairman of Gasmet Technologies Oy explains how an idea shared by a group of researchers at the University of Oulu in Finland, during the early 1970s, developed into one of the world’s leading gas monitoring instrumentation manufacturers. Early history – technology development At first, the Finnish researchers understood that the ...
Historically, the technique has been used for a broad range of applications from the composition of gas and liquid mixtures to the analysis of trace components for gas purity analysis. ...
A few years ago, the “Berliner Charité” medical school discovered that in addition to its application as an anaesthetic, the inert gas Xenon can also be used to stop the degeneration of brain cells following a stroke. As are the other inert gases (Helium, Neon, Argon and Krypton), Xenon is found in and makes up part of the air. Krypton and Xenon, however, are found in ...
