Study Notes
General Resuscitation Equipment
- Resuscitation bed designed for optimal patient positioning and access during emergency procedures.
- Overhead warmer, a servo-controlled infrared heater, helps maintain the patient's body temperature.
- Towels used for various purposes including warmth and cleanliness during resuscitation.
- Stethoscope essential for monitoring heart sounds and assessing other vital signs.
- Pulse oximeter provides continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation levels in the blood.
Airway Management Equipment
- Suction device with suction catheter necessary for clearing airways from obstructions.
- Bulb syringe utilized for oral suctioning to remove secretions, particularly in neonates.
- Laryngoscope with blades (size 00 and 0) used for visualizing the airway and facilitating intubation.
- Endotracheal tubes (ET size 2.5, 3.0, 3.5) allow direct access to the airway for ventilation support.
- EtCO2 detector monitors the presence of carbon dioxide to confirm proper tube placement.
- Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA, size 1) provides a secure airway alternative when intubation is not feasible.
Breathing Support Equipment
- Face mask is vital for delivering positive pressure ventilation during respiratory distress or failure.
