Warmer bed : to provide comfort for
neonate

Incubator :We place premature or sick babies inside an incubator, or in a heated cot,
to help them maintain their temperature. They may also have humidity inside the
temperature as an additional source of heat as well as a preventative measure to
decrease water losses and skin breakdown.

PHOTOTHERAPY MACHINE :
Phototherapy is the most common treatment for reducing
high bilirubin levels that cause jaundice in a newborn. In the
standard form of phototherapy, your baby lies in a bassinet
or enclosed plastic crib (incubator) and is exposed to a
special light that is absorbed by your baby's skin.

Bedside trolly: to keep patients
belonginess

Cardiac table : to provide diet
,support, other procedure

STAINLESS STEEL STOOL: TO SIT

Foot stool : to provide support/step in/out of bed

Central supply of suction and oxygen
port

Suction machine and uses
• Suction machines are appliances that are used to remove
substances such as blood, saliva, mucus, and vomit from a
person's airway. A portable suction unit can prevent
pulmonary aspiration and facilitate breathing. Suction
machine supplies include bacteria filters, collection canisters,
and aspirator tubing kits.

Type of gas used in hospital

IV STAND: TO ADMINISTER IV FLUID
AND BLOOD PRODUCT/SUPPORTIVE

Basin with stand: to prepare
disinfectant solution

performing procedure /examination

Dust bin : to collect general waste in
bed side

Wheel chair : to shift the patient from
one place to another place

Stretcher : to transfer the patient
from one place to another place

Windows: for cross ventilation

Exhaust fan : An exhaust fan will help to absorb the moisture in the atmosphere within the room
and as a result one will benefit from a reduction in problems such as mold and its resultant
negative effects. to eliminate humidity.

Air conditioners often use a fan to distribute the conditioned air to an occupied
space such as a building or a car to improve thermal comfort and indoor air quality.

BMWM bin: to collect the hospital

OTHER EQUIMENTS USED IN HOSPITAL
• CARDIAC MONITOR
• DEFIBRILLATOR
• OXYGEN CYLINDER(B-TYPE)
• ECG MACHINE
• X-RAY LOBBY
• SUCTION MACHINE MANUAL
• NEBULIZER
• Weight machine
• Height scale
• Glucometer
• Thermometer

The cardiac monitor is a device that shows the electrical and pressure
waveforms of the cardiovascular system for measurement and treatment.

Defibrillator
• The device is used to help people having sudden cardiacarrest. Sticky pads
with sensors, called electrodes, are attached to the chest of someone who
is having cardiacarrest. The electrodes send information about the
person'sheart rhythm to a computer in the AED.

Type of defibrillator
Defibrillators are devices that restore a normal heartbeat by sending an electric
pulse or shock to the heart. They are used to prevent or correct an arrhythmia, a
heartbeat that is uneven or that is too slow or too fast. Defibrillators can also
restore the heart's beating if the heart suddenly stops.

VENTRICULAR BRAIN CIRCUIT

BI-PAP
a BiPap machine can help push air into your lungs. You wear a mask or nasal plugs
that are connected to the ventilator. The machine supplies pressurized air into your
airways. It is called “positive pressure ventilation” because the device helps open
your lungs with this air pressure.

C-PAP
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a common treatment
for obstructive sleep apnea. A CPAP machine uses a hose and mask or nosepiece
to deliver constant and steady air pressure. Common problems with CPAP include
a leaky mask, trouble falling asleep, stuffy nose and a dry mouth.

AIRWAYS SIZE
The primary purposes of intubation include: opening up the airway to
give oxygen, anesthesia, or medicine. removing blockages. helping a
person breathe if they have collapsed lungs, heart failure, or trauma

B-TYPE OXYGEN CYLINDER
A gas cylinder is a pressure vessel for storage and
containment of gases at above atmospheric pressure.

Clinical thermometer
A clinical thermometer (also called clinical thermometer) is used
for measuring human body temperature. The tip of the
thermometer is inserted into the mouth under the tongue (oral or
sub-lingual temperature), under the armpit (axillary temperature),
or into the rectum via the anus (rectal temperature).

A digital thermometer is used to
take/check an oral temperature

Stethoscopes: The stethoscope is an acoustic medical device for auscultation, or listening to the
internal sounds of an animal or human body. It typically has a small disc-shaped resonator that is
placed against the chest, and two tubes connected to earpieces. It is often used to listen to lung
and heart sounds.

Pulse oxycemeter
The purpose of pulse oximetry is to check how well your heart is pumping
oxygen through your body. It may be used to monitor the health of
individuals with any type of condition that can affect blood oxygen levels,
especially while they're in the hospital.

Dyna plaster-used to wrap soft tissue injuries to
provide compression and support. This helps to limit
swelling and protects the affected area/secure the site

SUCTION TUBE
The tubes illustrated are designed for removing small amounts of secretions
from the nose, throat or ears. They are made of glass and are fitted to a
suction pump. Near the angle the glass is blown into a bulb into which the
secretion will run.

Tracheal tube-A tracheal tube is a catheter that is inserted into the trachea for the primary
purpose of establishing and maintaining a patent airway and to ensure the adequate exchange of
oxygen and carbon dioxide

Tracheal T piece
A T-tube is a silicone stent for the trachea with an external limb.
This stent provides airway support for patients with a tracheal
stenosis to allow the trachea to heal and avoid the need for a
long term tracheostomy tube.

Triage color drugs list

Inj.Adrenaline (epinephrine )
Uses. This medication is used
in emergencies to treat very
serious allergic reactions to
insect stings/bites, foods,
drugs, or other substances.
Epinephrine acts quickly to
improve breathing, stimulate
the heart, raise a
dropping blood pressure,
reverse hives, and reduce
swelling of the face, lips, and
throat.

Inj.Atropine sulphate
• Atropine Injection is given before anaesthesia to decrease mucus secretions, such
as saliva. During anaesthesia and surgery, atropine is used to help keep the heart
beat normal. Atropine sulfate is also used to block or reverse the adverse effects
caused by some medicines and certain type of pesticides.

Inj.Dopamine HCL
It works by improving the pumping strength of the heart and improves blood
flow to the kidneys. Dopamine injection (Intropin) is used to treat certain
conditions that occur when you are in shock, which may be caused by heart
attack, trauma, surgery, heart failure, kidney failure, and other serious medical
conditions

Inj.dobutamine HCL
Dobutamine is a medication used in the treatment
of cardiogenic shock and severe heart failure. It may also be
used in certain types of cardiac stress tests. It is given by
injection into a vein or intraosseous as a continuous infusion.

Uses: inj.dobutamine

Inj. Xylocard

Use: inj.xylocard

Inj.dexamethozone
This medication is used to
treat various conditions such as severe allergic
reactions, arthritis, blood diseases, breathing
problems, certain cancers, eye diseases,
intestinal disorders, and skin diseases. It is also
used to test for an adrenal gland disorder
(Cushing's syndrome).
Dexamethasone injection is used to treat
severe allergic reactions. Dexamethasone
injection is in a class of medications called
corticosteroids. It works to treat people
with low levels of corticosteroids by
replacing steroids that are normally
produced naturally by the body.

Inj.digoxin
Digoxin belongs to a class of medications
called cardiac glycosides. It is used to treat
mild-to-moderate congestive heart failure and
to treat certain types of abnormal heart
rhythms.
Digoxin increases the force of contraction of
the muscle of the heart by inhibiting the
activity of an enzyme (ATPase) that controls
movement of calcium, sodium, and
potassium into heart muscle. Calcium
controls the force of contraction.

Electrolyte injection
• Sodium bicarbonate reduces stomach acid. It
is used as an antacid to
treat heartburn, indigestion, and upset
stomach. Sodium bicarbonate is a very quick-
acting antacid.

Inj.Calcium Gluconate
Calcium gluconate is used to treat conditions arising
fromcalcium deficiencies such as hypocalcemic tetany, hypocalcemia
related to hypoparathyrodism and hypocalcemia due to rapid growth or
pregnancy

Inj.potassium chloride
Kcl Injection is a medicine used in the treatment of potassium
deficiency in the body. This supplement can relieve muscle weakness,
irregular heartbeat, nausea, and vomiting. It is an essential nutrient of
the body which helps in the maintenance of good health.
