Application of medical air in surgery

The application of medical air in surgery is very extensive, mainly including the following aspects:

1.-Driven Medical Devices

1. ventilator: After the medical air is purified, it can be directly used to drive the ventilator. During the operation, for patients who need respiratory assistance, such as patients under general anesthesia, the ventilator can provide the necessary oxygen support to ensure the normal respiratory function of the patient.
2. Surgical Tools: After medical air is compressed, it has a higher pressure and can be used to drive surgical tools, such as pneumatic saws, drills, etc. These tools play an important role in orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, etc., helping doctors to perform accurate and efficient surgical operations.

2. Assisted Medical Operations

1. atomization therapy: Medical air can be used as an air source for atomization treatment, and the drug can be atomized for inhalation by patients. Before and after surgery, for patients with respiratory diseases, atomization therapy can effectively relieve respiratory symptoms and improve the therapeutic effect.
2. Attract secretions during surgery, doctors may need to remove or collect secretions from the wound, airway, or other areas. Medical vacuum systems (usually used in conjunction with medical air systems) can be connected to appropriate equipment, such as aspirators, to attract secretions through the principle of negative pressure, maintain a clear surgical field of vision, and prevent infection.

3. ensure a clean surgical environment

1. cleaning and Disinfection medical air can also be used for cleaning and disinfection in hospitals. For example, through the air purifier to remove bacteria, viruses and other pollutants in the air, to ensure that the air quality of the operating room meets the standard, reduce the risk of surgical infection.

4. other applications

1. oral cleaning in dental surgery, medical air can be used for oral cleaning and care to help patients maintain oral health.
2. Specific surgical needs: In certain procedures, such as retinal detachment surgery, doctors may choose to fill the eyeball with air to restore the normal position of the retina. Although this is relatively rare, medical air plays an important role in these procedures.

Characteristics and Guarantee of 5. Medical Air System

1. purification treatment medical air is different from ordinary air. It has undergone strict purification treatment to remove impurities, microorganisms and harmful gases in it to meet the high-precision gas demand of medical equipment and ensure that the air inhaled by patients is safe and pure.
2. Continuous gas supply: The medical air supply source must be able to continuously supply air normally in the case of a single air compressor failure or when any component or component on a single branch fails. This ensures a continuous and stable supply of medical air during the operation.
3. Monitoring and alarm the medical gas system is usually equipped with a monitoring alarm system to monitor the operating status and various parameters of the gas system in real time. Once the abnormal gas parameters or system failure is found, the system will immediately send out an alarm signal to ensure the safety and reliability of medical gas supply.

To sum up, the application of medical air in surgery is very extensive and important. It not only drives a variety of medical equipment, assists in medical operations, but also ensures the cleanliness and safety of the surgical environment. At the same time, the characteristics and safeguard measures of the medical air system also provide strong support for the success of the operation.
