No anesthetic

It's nitrogen narcosis.

Are we just being numbingly stupid?

In the background there is a very sophisticated anesthesia machine.

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.

Well we have a whole O.R. team, general anesthesia, nurses, and another doctor across from me.

One of them is what Jacques Cousteau called rapture of the deep.

I'm a pediatrician and an anesthesiologist, so I put children to sleep for a living.

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

35 million surgeries are attempted every year without safe anesthesia.

Anesthesia machine multi parameter monitor, operating lights, suction.

One thing I forgot to mention is that to obviate the problem of nitrogen narcosis all of those blue dots in our body you remove the nitrogen and replace it with helium.

There is nothing legitimate about denying medical aid so that children lie screaming as legs are amputated without anaesthesia.

And, so, very quickly, Bob can just get one puncture, local anesthesia, and do this harvest as an outpatient.

But the nurse is literally running around a darkened operating theater trying to find anything she can use to anesthetize her patient, to keep her patient asleep.

Now the one thing that I forgot to mention, is that to obviate the problem of the nitrogen narcosis all of those blue dots in our body you remove the nitrogen and you replace it with helium.

The Foundation's Director, Jean Marie Fonrouge, was an anaesthetist, a specialist in emergency and disaster medicine and a doctor in public international law.

It needs an extremely well trained anesthesiologist with years of training with complex machines to help her monitor the flows of the gas and keep her patients safe and anesthetized throughout the surgery.

You do not need to be a highly trained, specialized anesthesiologist to use this machine, which is good because, in these rural district hospitals, you're not going to get that level of training.

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.

Hopefully you can appreciate the device there curving through the patient's body and removing the patient's bone marrow, instead of with 200 punctures, with just a single puncture under local anesthesia.

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.
