EQUIPMENT 1.

ECG MACHINE

DESCRIPTION The ECG device detects and amplifies the tiny electrical changes on the skin that are caused when the heart muscle depolarizes during each heartbeat. At rest, each heart muscle cell has a charge across its outer wall, or cell membrane. It is the best way to measure and diagnose abnormal rhythms of the heart.

2. DEFIBRILLATOR

An electronic device that applies an electric shock to restore the rhythm of a fibrillating heart.

3. PULSE OXIMETER

It is a medical device that indirectly monitors the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin. Most monitors also display the heart rate. Acceptable normal ranges are from 95 to 100 percent, although values down to90% are common.

4.AMBU BAG(RESUSCITATOR BAG)

It is a hand-held device used to provide positive pressure ventilation to a patient who is not breathing or who is breathing inadequately. The device is a normal part of a resuscitation kit for trained professionals, such as ambulance crew.
