Types of Medical Equipment

January 22, 2011 By Erick Smith 1 Comment

Every day, doctors, nurses and other health care professionals employ a wide variety of medical tools to save and improve patients lives. There are literally thousands of different medical devices to be found in any given hospital or clinic, and going through them all would take awhile. Every piece of medical equipment, from simple needles to high tech imaging tools, is essential to the day to day running of a health care facility. The following are just some of the most common types of medical equipment used in hospitals and medical practices today (though its not covered in this article, its worth keeping in mind that medical veterinary equipment is just as complex and diverse and comprises its own entire field of specialized medicaldevices).

Everyday Use Equipment

This is a blanket category that includes all the different tools and medical devices that doctors and nurses use every day during routine medical procedures. Many of these tools are simple, like needles, latex gloves, syringes and stethoscopes. Other everyday medical devices, however, are quite sophisticated. Most hospitals and clinics employ new or refurbished autoclaves, for example, which are compact machines that are commonly used to sterilize medical tools before theyre used. Todays medical exam tables and weighing scales, while not technically high tech machines, are important and often quite complex tools that need their fair share of maintenance.

Diagnostic Equipment
Diagnostic equipment is any type of equipment whose main purpose is to help doctors detect and and diagnose diseases. Some of the most commonly used pieces of diagnostic equipment include ultrasound machines, PET scanners (which use cameras and tracer fluid to produce images of a patients internal organs in order to detect signs of cancer or other diseases), CT scanners (which

use x-ray sand dye to do the same job as PET scanner), and MRI machines (which use magnetic resonance technology to detect things like tumors, infections and internal injuries.

Therapeutic Equipment

Therapeutic equipment is equipment that is used after surgeries and other medical treatments to help patients recover and improve their health. Therapeutic medical equipment includes devices like infusion pumps, which infuse the circulatory system of recovering patients with the nutrients and medicines their bodies need to get better; medical lasers and LASIK surgical machines.

Life Support Equipment

Life support equipment is equipment that is used to maintain a patients organs functioning when said organs have failed. Life support equipment includes heart-lung machines, medical ventilators (used to artificially circulate air in and out of the lungs), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machines (or ECMOs, which artificially infuses patients blood with oxygen), and dialysis machines
Physicians are categorized by a variety of factors including medical specialty, or patient population. Learn more about the different types of physicians you could become.

Primary Care - Family Medicine

Family medicine is one of the options of primary care physicians. Learn more about how to become a Family Practice physician and average income. Family practice physicians see patients of all ages and provide basic care for a variety of more common ailments.

Primary Care - Internal Medicine

Internists also can provide primary care, or they can also sub-specialize into a variety of other areas such as gastroenterology or endocrinology, to name a few of many sub-specialties.

Internists usually have more hospital-based training than family practitioners, and internists do not typically see children under the age of 18.

Hospitalist
Hospitalists only see patients in the hospital. Most hospitalists are physicians who trained in internal medicine, but prefer hospital work over more clinic-based primary care. Some hospitalists may be trained in family practice, but that's not as common.

Surgeon
Surgeons can also be trained in general surgery, or more specialized types of surgery such as orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, or cardiac surgery. Surgeons spend a great deal of time in the Operating Room of a hospital or outpatient surgery center. The training to become a surgeon is typically several years longer than primary care and some medical sub-specialties.

Cardiologist (Sub-specialty of Internal Medicine)

Cardiology is one of many sub-specialties of internal medicine. Cardiologists focus on treatment of the heart and blood vessels of the cardiovascular system. There are many different types of cardiologists, focusing on different aspects of the field. Training to become a cardiologist is fairly extensive, as several years of fellowship are required after completing three years of internal medicine residency. Therefore, a minimum of six years of residency and fellowship after medical school is typical for cardiologists in training.

Dermatologist

Dermatology is one of the most competitive fields for physicians. Typically, only the very top medical students are accepted into dermatology residency programs. Why the desire for dermatology? Because dermatologists are very well compensated (due to aesthetic and cash-pay elective procedures such as botox, lasering, and more). Plus, the quality of life is excellent, with little to no on-call time required, due to the nature of the work.

Endocrinologist (Sub-specialty of Internal Medicine)

Endocrinologist treat the endocrine system: the glands that produce and secrete hormones that control and regulate nearly all of the body's functions. Diabetics are often treated by an endocrinologist, as are patients with various thyroid issues.

Gastroenterologist (Sub-specialty of Internal Medicine)

Gastroenterologists treat the digestive system. This field attracts physicians who enjoy doing procedures, but who also enjoy seeing patients in an outpatient setting as well. Ads

Infectious Disease (Sub-specialty of Internal Medicine)

Infectious disease physicians have been very busy lately, dealing with swine flu, bird flu, as well as HIV/AIDS, among other communicable diseases. Infectious disease physicians may practice some primary care internal medicine in addition to their infectious disease patients, depending on the needs of the community or employer.

Nephrologist (Sub-specialty of Internal Medicine)

Nephrologists study internal medicine and then sub-specialize in nephrology via additional 2-3 years of fellowship training. Nephrologists treat kidney disease, and prescribe dialysis for those experiencing kidney failure. Continued from Page 1)

Ophthalmologist

Opthalmologists are medical doctors who treat diseases or disorders of the eyes, and perform eye surgery. Vision correction that cannot be handled by an optometrist may be treated by an ophthalmologist. Ads

Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB/Gyn)
OB/Gyns provide women's healthcare, including care of pregnant women, and surgeries of the reproductive organs to repair abnormalities or remove cancers.

Otolaryngologist
Otolaryngologists, also known as otorhinolaryngologists, are sometimes more commonly referred to as E.N.T.s, which stands for "ear, nose, and throat". Otolaryngology is another field that entails a combination of surgical skills and officebased medicine and treatment. ENTs cover a lot of issues from sinus problems, allergies, head and neck cancers, and more. Therefore, many physicians subspecialize in a specific area of otolaryngology. However, the current demand is for more general otolaryngologists as opposed to sub-specialized ones.

Pediatrician
You must really love kids to be a pediatrician. Pediatricians only care for younger patients, from infancy through age 18, or sometimes as high as age 21. Pediatricians provide primary health care to children including immunizations, well-baby checks and school physicals, and treatment of coughs and colds, among many other things. More seriously ill or complicated patients may be referred to a pediatric sub-specialist for more specialized treatment.

Pulmonologist (Sub-Specialty of Internal Medicine)

Pulmonologists treat the respiratory system, including the lungs. Pulmonologists often study critical care medicine in conjunction with pulmonary disease, and therefore they may serve as intensivists (covering the ICU) in a hospital, in addition to also seeing patients in an office setting to treat lung problems and diseases.

Psychiatrist
A psychiatrist treats the mental health and well-being of the patient. Psychiatrists may also be office-based, hospital-based, or a combination thereof. Most psychiatrists prefer to practice in an office setting. Some psychiatrists may focus on Child and Adolescent psychiatry, or on addiction medicine.

One of the many options you have as a healthcare professional is choosing a medical specialty in which to practice. Whether youre a nurse, a physician, or allied health professional, choosing a medical specialty will help focus your educational goals, job search efforts, and career choices.

The sooner you identify your true passion in medicine, the more successful you may become, by working in a field you love. For example, is your passion working with kids, pregnant moms, cancer patients, or the elderly? Do you want to ease the pain of the dying, or bring new life into the world? Consider the various specialties:

1. Allergy and Immunology

The medical specialty of Allergy and Immunology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of allergies. Ads
