Overview of Bioinstrumentation in hospital (1)

• Cardiology equipment: Study the structure, function, and diseases related to the normal and abnormal heart

• Vascular equipment: studies blood vessels in terms of blood pressure, flow and volume in the vessels

• Respiratory equipment: detects the gaseous exchanges that occur in the various parts of the respiratory system

• Sensory equipment: monitors brain waves and records them as EEG signals. These equipment may also record electric impulses from the surface of muscles as EMG signals

Overview of Bioinstrumentation in hospital(2)

• Imaging equipment: generate images of the body’s organs and systems

• Fiber optics and laser equipment: used in endoscopic examinations and in surgery

• Intensive care equipment and operating equipment: highly specialized therapeutic equipment to treat deformities and injuries

• Laboratory equipment: used for blood, urine, and other lab tests such as fluid analysis for sodium, potassium, chlorides and blood gas

Overview of Bioinstrumentation in hospital(3)

• Preventive maintenance equipment: used by hospitals in effective preventive maintenance programs to ensure a high degree of patient safety from electrical and mechanical hazards, reduce equipment repairs and extend equipment life

• Telemetry equipment: remotely monitor the patient’s vital signs such as blood pressure or the ECG or it is used in the patient's room in real time via radio frequency

• Network equipment: sophisticated hubs, switches and routers that the hospital network uses to communicate with the outside world on fast-speed wide area networks
