2. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
• CPAP:- CPAP is a type of
breathing machine that is
designed to help oxygen enter
the lungs.
• CPAP does not breathe for the
patient.
• CPAP does help hold the lungs
open to allow more oxygen to
enter the lungs.

3. Breathing bag (manual resuscitation)
• A breathing bag is a device used
to temporary help a patient
breathe.
• When a patient needs help bret,
a respiratory therapist, doctor
or nursing officer place the
breathing bag face mask over
the patient mouth and nose.

4. BEDSIDE MONITOR
• A bedside monitor is a display
of major body functions on a
device that looks like a
television screen or computer
monitor
• The number of body functions
the monitor measures is up to
the doctor and nursing officer.

5. BRAIN TISSUE OXYGEN MONITOR
• This is a one way to measure
how the brain is working after a
brain injury.

6. CAPNOGRAPHY MONITOR
• A capnography monitor is a
device that measures carbon
dioxide.
• The carbon dioxide values from
the capnography monitor are
often displayed on the bedside
monitor.

7. • Biospectral index or BIS
monitoring is a new way of
measuring how “asleep “ or
sedated a patient is in the
operation room or in the ICU.
BIOSPECTRAL INDEX MONITOR (BIS)

8. RESUSCITATION (CRASH) CART
• The resuscitation cart
containers all of the equipment
and medication needed for
advanced life support and CPR.
• A movable cart or similar
conveyance carrying supplies
and equipment for the
management of medical
emergencies.

9. INTRAVENOUS (IV) INFUSION PUMP
• An IV infusion pump is machine
that carefully controls the rate
at which iv fluid and /or IV
medicine are given

10. DIALYSIS MACHINE
• A dialysis machine is a machine
that cleans the blood of toxins
when the kidney are not
working.

11. DEFIBRILLATOR
• A defibrillator is a device that is
designed to pass electrical
current through a patient’s
heart.
• The passing of electrical current
through the heart is called
defibrillation.
• A defibrillation is done through
pads placed on the patients
chest.

12. ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH (EEG) MACHINE
• An EEG machine is a device that
measures the electrical activity
in the brain.
• The EEG machine only measures
electrical activity in the brain.

13. VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE (VAD)
• A ventricular assist device (VAD)
is a device that takes over some
the function of the heart when
it is critically weak.
• It is most commonly used while
waiting for a sustainable donor
heart to available for
transplant.
• The device will be put in place
by heart surgeon and is
commonly in 3 section.

14. INTRA - AROTIC BALLOON PUMPING
• Intra – arotic balloon pumping
is a temporary emergency
measures to help the heart
pump more blood and improve
blood flow to the heart.
• IABP is a device that provides
the assistance to the heart.

15. ARTERIAL LINE
• An arterial line or arterial
catheter is a small thin plastic
tube, similar to an IV catheter
that is inserted into a patient
artery.
• ARTERIAL catheter may be
inserted into the wrist (radial
artery), groin (femoral artery)
or foot (pedal artery).

16. BRAIN STEM EVOKED RESPONSE EQUIPMENT
• Auditory brain stem responses
evoked by stimulating the brain
stem with painless sound waves
using headphones.

17. PULSE OXIMETRY
• Pulse Oximetry is the study of
arterial oxygen saturation, the
amount of oxygen dissolved in
the blood

18. CENTRAL VENOUS (CVP) LINE
• Central venous line: A CVP or
central line is an intravenous line
that is used for giving the patient
fluid and / or medication.
• A CVP is inserted into of the One if
the larger veitof the body.
• Neck (jugular vein)
• shoulder (subclavian vein) or
• groin (femoral vein).

19. INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE MONITORING (ICP)
• ICU patient who have sustained
head trauma, brain
hemorrhage, brain surgery, or
conditions in which the brain
may swell might require
intracranial pressure
monitoring.
• The purpose of ICP monitoring
is to continually measure the
pressure surrounding the brain.

20. PULMONARY ARTERY CATHETERIZATION
• A pulmonary artery catheter,
also called a right heart
catheter or a swan-ganz
catheter, is a specialized central
venous catheter designed to
provide information about the
good and heart.

21. CHEST DRAINAGE DEVICE
• The chest drainage device
include a chest tube and a chest
drainage unit.
• A chest tube is a placed to
remove air or fluid from around
a patient’s lung.

22. COLONOSCOPE
• A Colonoscpe is an instrument
used for performing
Colonscopy.
• It is an flexible tube with an eye
piece or video screen.

23. Gastrostomy Tube
• A gastrostomy tube is a flexible
plastic hollow tube placed into
the stomach through the skin
overlying the stomach.
• The purpose of gastrostomy is
to provide a way to give patient
food and medication.

24. TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE
• A tube inserted into a
temporary surgical opening at
the front of the throat providing
access to the trachea and
windpipe to assist in breathing.
• The front of neck going into
trachea usually between the
third and fourth rings of
cartilage.

25. NASOGASTRIC (NG) TUBE
• A nasogastric (NG) tube is a
flexible plastic tube that goes
through the patient’s mouth or
nose into the stomach.
• It is designed to remove
stomach contents or provide a
route to give medication or
food to a patient who cannot
swallow.

26. BREATHING (ENDOTRACHEAL) TUBE
• A breathing tube is a plastic
tube used during artificial
respiration, a procedure to
assist a patient in breathing.
• The tube is placed into the
windpipe (trachea) through the
mouth or nose.

27. BALLOON TAMPONADE TUBE
• A balloon tamponade tube is
used when the bleeding from
oesophageal varices is
dangerous, and the tube is
usually inserted during an
endoscopy by medical staff.

28. SUCTION CATHETER
• Suction catheters are long
flexible tube that are used in
intensive care to remove fluids
from the mouth and airways of
critically ill patients.

29. LIQUID TUBE FEEDING PUMP
• A liquid tube feeding pump is a
specialized pump designed to
accurately deliver liquid tube
feeding to a patient

30. GASTROSCOPE
• A gastroscope is a special kind
of endoscope .
• The gastroscope is a flexible
plastic tube approximately four
feet long and one half inch
wide.
• The gastroscope contains optic
fibers with a light source that
allow the gastroscope to
function like a video camera.

31. ENDOSCOPE
• It is a medical device with a light
attached.
• It is used to look inside a body
cavity or organ. The scope is
inserted through a natural opening,
such as the mouth during a
bronchoscopy, or the rectum for a
sigmoidoscopy.
• A medical procedure using any type
of endoscope is called an
endoscopy.

32. Wound drain
• A wound drain is typically a
plastic tube that provides a way
for unnecessary body fluid or
air to flow out of the body from
a wound.
