CHAPTER 2
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
MEDICAL EQUIPMENTS
When hearing the term 'medical equipment', a typical layman, whose only knowledge
about health care comes from an annual check-up at a local surgery and TV shows such as
'House, M.D.' or 'ER', might think of complex devices like a defibrillator, the star of the
show in every scene in which somebody's life is saved.

However, medical equipment might refer to both very complex devices used by
professionals as well as to simple instruments which you might even use yourself. Let's see
what equipment is used when you catch influenza.

Imagine you wake up in the morning with a terrible headache, feeling feverish. You
quickly phone the boss and say you need a day off, then grab a thermometer to take the
temperature. Gosh, it's 102 degrees Fahrenheit! You really need to go to the doctor's. After
you arrive at your local clinic and wait some time in a queue, the GP asks you in. She asks
what is wrong and then puts a tongue depressor in your mouth to see your throat. Then she
asks you to take off your sweater and uses a stethoscope to listen to your chest. Finally she
tells you that you have caught the flu, prescribes you some medicine and says you must stay
at home for a couple of days.

As you can see, several pieces of equipment are used even in such a common
procedure like diagnosing flu, some of which you may even have at home. What about other
examples? Let's see what equipment might be used in case of a broken bone.

It's mid February and you are skiing in the Rockies. You are having an amazing time
but you fall and feel terrible pain in both your shin and your arm. You have probably broken
your arm and your leg!

It's so painful you can't move so you call out mountain rescue. They come by chopper,
put you on a stretcher, use a splint to immobilize your limbs and take you to the hospital.
You are told you have broken your leg and it's put in a cast. If you're lucky and your arm is
not broken, it's only wrapped in bandage and you have to wear a sling. As a result, walking
on crutches is out of the question, so you leave the hospital in a wheelchair. But how do the
doctors make sure your limb is broken or not? Well, you have an X-ray taken.

What other gear is used in hospitals? Let's study a case of a person brought to an A&E
department with a head injury. The person is brought by paramedics, who have already put
a brace on his or her neck in order to prevent further injury. Firstly, diagnostic equipment is
put to use in order to check the person's condition.
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is taken to check for bleeding and
swelling in the brain. If immediate surgery is required, the patient is administered an anesthetic by
means of a syringe. Then a surgeon uses a scalpel to cut into his or her body and forceps to
manipulate the tissues. After the surgery is performed, a catheter is inserted for the time when he or
she is immobilized.
 Various types of medical equipment, ranging from basic tools to highly advanced
cutting edge devices, are used in very different situations. One thing is certain - each piece
has been developed to help us recover or even save our lives. And we might need them at the
very beginning of our lives - as is the case with an incubator, which is used in neonatal units
to help or treat prematurely born children.
