Erica Frenkel The universal anesthesia machine

It takes about an hour and a half to two hours, depending on where it's done, under general anesthesia.

In this hospital, there is one person qualified to deliver anesthesia, and she's qualified because she has 12, maybe 18 months of training in anesthesia.

It's just a reality of anesthesia. The lungs can be paralyzed.

Nursing activities during this period focus on safety, infection prevention, and physiological response to anesthesia.

After anesthesia, the patient's inability to react to movements may damage joints and muscle groups.

Monkeys were implanted with sensors to measure vital signs, and many were under anesthesia during launch.

What if you're in surgery and the power goes out? No lights, no oxygen and your anesthesia stops flowing. It happens constantly in hospitals throughout the world, turning routine procedures into tragedies. Erica Frenkel demos one solution the universal anesthesia machine.

And we could take a very simple view and say, well, it is that which we lose when we fall into deep sleep without dreams, or when we go under anesthesia, and it is what we regain when we recover from sleep or from anesthesia.

Essentially, to deliver anesthesia, you want as pure oxygen as possible, because eventually you're going to dilute it essentially with the gas.

Because we were in the age before anesthesia, the agony of the patient is really as much of the public spectacle as the surgery itself.

Now one of the major bottlenecks that we've found that's sort of preventing both the access in the first place and the safety of those surgeries that do happen is anesthesia.

Although it is expensive, anesthesia machines that can deliver xenon are about to appear on the European market, because advances in recovery and recycling of xenon have made it economically viable.

And I had to go and ride in the rodeo that night, so I didn't want them to put me under anesthesia, or whatever you call it. And so they sewed my face up.

And what he came up with was this guy, the prototype for the Universal Anesthesia Machine a machine that would work and anesthetize his patients no matter the circumstances that his hospital had to offer.

He went to work every day in an operating theater like this one, trying to deliver anesthesia and teach others how to do so using that same equipment that became so unreliable, and frankly unsafe, in his hospital.

If you're in America and you don't know about this one, we do, because we make it our duty to find out what's appropriate technology for Africa what's appropriately priced, does the job, and we move on. Anesthesia machine multi parameter monitor, operating lights, suction.
