How can hypoxia triage beds fail
Hypoxia triage beds are a kind of equipment used to monitor a patient's blood oxygen level, respiration and heartbeat, and are widely used in emergency rooms and ICU wards. However, in recent years, the quality of hypoxia triage beds has been a problem in some medical institutions, resulting in a significant reduction in the use of this equipment. Here is how the hypoxia triage beds are unqualified reason analysis.
1. Irrational design
The main function of hypoxia triage bed is to detect the patient's blood oxygen concentration. However, in some devices, the distance between the oxygen probe and the patient's mouth and nose is too large, leading to inaccurate measurement results. Meanwhile, the design of some beds is too simple for three simultaneous monitoring of respiration, heartbeat and blood oxygen, leading to data shortage.
2. Inadequate technology
There are a wide variety of hypoxia triage beds on the market today, but the core technology of some of the devices is not mature. Often there are too many measurement errors, signal interference and other problems, resulting in analysis results can not accurately reflect the actual situation of the patient, thus significantly reducing the effectiveness of treatment.
3. Untimely maintenance
The hypoxia triage bed is a piece of equipment that also requires regular maintenance. However, in some medical institutions, due to limited financial resources or mismanagement, some beds repair and maintenance work will not be able to get proper protection and treatment. This will result in increased measurement errors, unstable signals, and ultimately errors and distortions in monitoring data.
4. Lack of standards
Because the design and technical details of hypoxia triage beds vary, there is currently a lack of unified industry standards, which leads to the problem of varying quality of hypoxia triage beds. Some medical institutions have adopted low-priced hypoxia triage beds, which appear to have similar functions, but because their quality cannot be guaranteed to meet the standard requirements, they must undergo more rigorous testing and inspection before use.
5. Lack of regulation
Anoxia triage beds as a medical equipment, its quality gaps and problems can not be solved only by self-regulation and self-examination. At present, the regulation and management of hypoxia triage beds in China is not yet in line with international standards, which has occupied a certain market share for some low-quality equipment, thus delaying the treatment and rescue of patients.
Conclusion
Oxygen deprivation triage beds play an extremely important role in the medical industry, but it is necessary to use quality-assured equipment before use, and to strengthen the daily maintenance work to ensure their accuracy and stability to achieve the expected therapeutic effect. At the same time, strengthening regulation and management, and developing uniform industry standards is the first task to better maintain the qualification of hypoxia triage beds.
