Safe, Robust and Easy-To-Use Anaesthesia Machine – Dräger Atlan A100
—The new Atlan A100/XL is a safe, robust, and easy-to-use anaesthesia machine built with a high precision piston ventilator.
Besides the Operating Theatres, the Atlan A100/XL can also be used in Non-Operating Room Anaesthesia (NORA) settings. NORA cases are projected to exceed 50% of the total anesthesia cases in the new future. (1) NORA settings such as:
- Endoscopy (gastro-, colono-, cysto-, bronchoscopy…)
- Interventional Pulmonology, Interventional Cardiology, Interventional Radiology…
- Pediatrics (pediatric cardiac catheterization, lumbar punctures, and bone marrow aspiration..)
- IVF Retrieval
Support Patient Safety with Piston Ventilation Anaesthesia Workstation
—The Dräger anaesthesia machine with piston ventilation offers several advantages which includes:
- Synchronized piston movement with patient expiration flow
- Maintenance of set positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)
- High trigger sensitivity for detecting weak spontaneous breathing efforts
- The AutoFlow feature to deliver set tidal volume with minimal pressure
These features contribute to improved ventilation quality, reduced complications, and enhanced safety during anesthesia.
Delivery of tidal volume from four anaesthesia ventilators during volume-controlled ventilation: a bench study.
This study investigated the accuracy of delivered tidal volume in four new ventilators under different conditions with four different gas delivery system, “Ascending bellows-in-box”, “Volume reflector”, “Piston-driven” and Turbine. The findings sho that the Piston ventilator anaesthesia machine had the highest accuracy as the volume error was consistently lower than the threshold. (2)
Lung Protection during Anaesthesia
—There is an increasing call for protective ventilation during anaesthesia. Studies have shown that many patients benefit from protective ventilation during surgery and that the outcome can be improved - and not only for patients with an increased risk of pulmonary complications.
Lung Protection during General Anesthesia
The webinar was presented by Dr. Noel G. Beley from St. Luke's Medical Center - Quezon City, providing you with various aspects of lung protective ventilation in the OR.
Why Lung Protective Ventilation matters for every patient.
Watch Dr. Ary Serpa Neto explain why he got interested in lung protective ventilation, the first “mind blowing” studies he read on the topic, how this strategy can improve the outcomes of patients in the ICU and in the OR – patients with healthy lungs, obese patients, pediatric patients – and how easy it is to implement in clinical practice.
Achieving optimal patient outcome with Minimal- and Low Flow Anaesthesia
—In everyday clinical practice where inhalational anaesthesia is performed using a rebreathing system, the fresh gas flow should always be as low as possible. This is the only way in which the emission of excess anaesthesia gases can be reduced to a minimum and the advantages of improved respiratory gas conditioning achieved.
