Medical compressed air use

Medical compressed air has a wide range of applications in the medical field, the following is a summary of its main uses:

ventilator gas source: medical compressed air is the main gas source of the ventilator. By controlling pressure and flow, the ventilator sends pure medical compressed air into the patient's respiratory tract, thereby assisting the patient's breathing and helping the patient maintain normal oxygenation and carbon dioxide emissions, which is essential for saving lives.

Surgical instrument power: In the operating room, medical compressed air is used as the power source of various surgical instruments, such as scalpels, suture guns, etc. These instruments need to provide purified compressed air through air storage tanks and filters to ensure their normal operation. For example, a scalpel needs medical compressed air to dry the wound to facilitate suturing, while a suture gun needs compressed air to control its working speed and strength.

Steam sterilizer gas source: When the steam sterilizer performs high-temperature steam sterilization, it needs to use medical compressed air to provide a stable steam pressure to ensure its normal operation and achieve the purpose of disinfection.

Suction air source: Medical compressed air is also used to drive the suction device, which is a medical device used to absorb secretions and secretions in the body. The aspirator uses compressed air to create a negative pressure to extract exudates from the body.

Therapeutic use: Compressed air is also used to treat certain respiratory diseases, such as atomization inhalation therapy, which atomizes drugs into tiny particles, making it easier for patients to inhale and achieve therapeutic effects. It is suitable for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Asthma and other diseases.

Laboratory and medical equipment drivers: In medical laboratories, medical compressed air is used to drive various experimental equipment and analytical instruments. In addition, it is also used to drive other medical equipment, such as blood gas analyzers, polymerase chain reaction machines, aspirators, and dental equipment.

In summary, the application of medical compressed air in the medical field is multifaceted. It is not only an important source of air and power for medical equipment, but also directly involved in the treatment of patients.
