This is the first book for people who use medical equipment, rather than for engineers or technicians. It will help personnel within healthcare to avoid accidents by bridging the gap between the design principles and the user. The book encourages safe use of a wide range of equipment, from simple thermometers and blood-pressure cuffs to complex equipment such as pacemakers, ventilators and patient monitors.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple explanations of basic medical devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase histories of real-life accidents to highlight risk areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, attractive illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Tips\" boxes identify particular problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Basic Facts\" boxes supply fundamental information needed by all readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Technology\" boxes provide more-advanced explanations for interested or experienced readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.\tSafety in health care\u003cbr\u003e2. \tMechanics and safety\u003cbr\u003e3. \tElectricity and safety\u003cbr\u003e4.\tGas, fire and heat\u003cbr\u003e5.\tMeasurement techniques\u003cbr\u003e6. \tMeasurement methods and values\u003cbr\u003e7. \tMedical images\u003cbr\u003e8.\tVentilation\u003cbr\u003e9.\tParenteral administration of drugs\u003cbr\u003e10.\tArtificial organs and stimulators\u003cbr\u003e11.\tTissues and calculi\u003cbr\u003e12.\tComputers in health care\u003cbr\u003e13.\tResponsibility\u003cbr\u003e14.\tChecklists\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Midwifery [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Midwifery\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Midwifery%20%5BMQD%5D%22\"\u003eMQD\u003c\/a\u003e], Nursing [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Nursing\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Nursing%20%5BMQC%5D%22\"\u003eMQC\u003c\/a\u003e], Surgical techniques [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Surgical techniques\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Surgical%20techniques%20%5BMNB%5D%22\"\u003eMNB\u003c\/a\u003e], Medical administration \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Medical administration \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Medical%20administration%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BMBPM%5D%22\"\u003eMBPM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Churchill Livingstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648349655320,"sku":"9780443102592","price":29.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780443102592.jpg?v=1694979754","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/medical-devices-use-and-safety-paperback-9780443102592","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
