Cardiorespiratory Monitor Provides a continuous and painless way to check and monitor a child’s ECG (heart tracing), respirations (breathing), temperature, blood pressure (BP), and blood oxygen levels (O2 Saturation) during emergency situations.
Portable Ultrasound Assists the Emergency Physician by providing fast and accurate screening of various internal problems to support medical decision making. This can be used to look at lungs, heart, kidneys, bowels etc.
Two Pulse Oximeter Units This equipment gives a painless way to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood through a sensor that is clipped on the finger. The Pulse Oximeter Unit has a sensor which emits beams of red and infrared light and detects the amount of light absorbed by hemoglobin (which carries oxygen) in the red blood cells. This reading is transmitted back to the unit and is displayed on a screen.
