2. Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitor

Measure and display the patient's blood oxygen saturation level to ensure the normal functioning of respiratory function.


3. Blood Pressure Monitor

Used to continuously monitor blood pressure changes, non-invasive or invasive blood pressure monitoring can be performed when necessary.


4. Ventilator

Used to assist or replace the patient's spontaneous breathing, including multiple modes such as pressure control, volume control, etc., to adapt to different conditions.


5. Body Temperature Monitor

Continuously monitor the patient's body temperature to facilitate timely adjustment of treatment plans.


2. Support and treatment equipment

1. Infusion pumps and syringe pumps

Used to accurately control the infusion rate of drugs and fluids to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment.


2. Hemodialysis machine

Provides hemodialysis treatment for patients with renal failure to remove toxins and excess fluids in the body.


3. Blood gas analyzer

Instantly analyzes the patient's arterial blood gas composition to help adjust respiratory treatment and other clinical decisions.


4. Defibrillator

Used to perform electric shock defibrillation in cardiac arrest to restore normal heart rhythm.


5. Nutrition pump

Provides nutritional support for patients who cannot eat normally to ensure their nutritional intake.


3. Diagnostic and monitoring equipment

1. Mobile X-ray machine

Used to take X-rays at the bedside to facilitate rapid diagnosis and monitoring of the condition.


2. Ultrasound equipment

Used for bedside ultrasound examinations to help evaluate the condition of the heart, abdomen and other parts.


3. Bedside blood analyzer

Quickly detect various components in the blood to support timely clinical decisions.


IV. First aid equipment

3. Bed table and nursing cart

Convenient for storing and managing nursing supplies and improving nursing efficiency.


VI. Environmental control equipment

1. Air purifier

Keep the air in the ward clean and reduce the risk of infection.


2. Air conditioner and humidifier

Control the temperature and humidity of the ward to provide a comfortable treatment environment.


3. Negative pressure isolation equipment

Used for patients with infectious diseases to prevent the spread of germs.


Conclusion

The equipment configuration of ICU is directly related to the treatment effect and life safety of critically ill patients. By being fully equipped with monitoring equipment, support equipment, diagnostic equipment, emergency equipment and nursing support equipment, the ICU can provide patients with efficient and comprehensive monitoring and treatment. At the same time, the use of environmental control equipment can further optimize the patient's treatment environment and reduce the risk of complications and infection. Effective equipment management and maintenance are also crucial to ensure the reliability and functionality of the equipment.
