[Improvement of equipment for anesthesiological and resuscitation monitoring in military hospitals].

Abstract

Contemporary state and trends in further improvement of equipment for anesthesiological and resuscitation monitoring are considered on the bases of multiyear experience in the use and upgrade of this equipment in military hospitals of the USSR and RF. The developed and implemented policy and concept of technological engineering support of military anesthesiology and resuscitation allowed the priority directions to be determined and a number of its mane applications to be realized in military hospitals. Analysis of technological engineering support of anesthesiology and resuscitation equipment carried out in 2002-2003 revealed a trend toward improvement in supply of equipment for inhalation narcosis, artificial lung ventilation, and control diagnostic devices. On the other hand, certain disadvantages were found and their causes were analyzed. The main directions in improvement of monitoring support of military medical organizations were determined taking into account modern requirements for anesthesiological and resuscitation service.
