Latin America Capnography Equipment Market to Witness Significant Growth, Owing to Extensive Use of Capnography in Industrial, Commercial, and Manufacturing Sector

 

Capnography Equipment Market

Capnography refers to the measurement of the concentration or total pressure of carbon monoxide (CO), in the expired respiratory gases. Its development has principally been as an educational tool for medical use in intensive care and anesthesia during surgery. Capnography can be presented as a graphical display of total CO concentration (measured in mmHg) plotted against time, either, more typically, with a text legend for easy visual interpretation, or without legend, against a common graph of other parameters.

More recently, capnography has become extensively used in industrial, commercial, and manufacturing applications. Such extensive use of these equipment is therefore, expected to boost growth of Latin America capnography equipmentmarket. The major advantages of using capnography for medical and industrial purposes are: first, it is non-invasive; second, it can easily measure non-blood gases, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulfur dioxide (SOD), carbon dioxide (CO2), and hydrocarbons like oil, natural gas, and diesel. Third, it is reliable and can measure small volumes of expired respiratory gases from a variety of gases without significant loss of accuracy. Fourth, the equipment needed is minimal. Capnography does not require any specialized facilities, such as pressure tanks, special monitors, or probes for gas flow measurement. Also, compared to traditional non-contact pulmonary monitoring methods, capnography offers a non-invasive, bloodless method for obtaining valuable data about the concentration and distribution of oxygen in the expired air. Such advantages are expected to aid in growth of the Latin America capnography equipment market.  

With the development of advanced capnography equipment and digital imaging technologies, the accuracy and reliability of the process have increased, particularly with respect to non-blood gases. The equipment required for this type of gas monitoring is somewhat larger than those used for standard non-blood gas monitoring, however, and accuracy and reliability have been consistently improved since its inception. Currently, there are four types of handheld or mounted portable gas monitoring devices available in the Latin America capnography equipment market.

These are the fingertip/subdermal (FTC) monitor, the in-line probe, the peripheral probe, and the peripheral lens camera. The fingertip/subdermal monitor is basically a small, lightweight, battery operated monitor that has a single probe inserted into each fingertip or subcutaneous surface. The finger is inserted into a specialized reusable pen that serves as both a transmitter and receiver for the capnography process. A small cable is connected from the transmitter to a computer housing, which contains a computing unit that receives, measures, and stores the data. The computer is often linked to a console that presents a graphic display of the data obtained by the handheld instrument. Although some regulators allow the user to program the display and read data from the console, other regulators provide pre-written software for use with the appropriate applications.

The in-line probe is an advanced version of the fingertip/subcutaneous monitor. A probe is inserted into the patient's body at the neck and under the skin surface for an accurate reading of blood oxygen saturation. The advantages of this type of capnography are that there is a smaller than average body size for the patient to obtain good vascular imaging for the patient and that less motion is required for the process. The disadvantages of using the in-line probe is that it requires additional surgery for the insertion and therefore may not be performed on children and women of childbearing age.

Peripheral interferences to the cardiac cycle can be minimized by the use of peripheral lens camera Capnography equipment. This type of monitor uses a camera attached to a special light-emitting diode or LED screen. When the patient exhales or inhales, a light emitting diode (LED) passes through a plastic lens that converts the light to electric signals, which are then sent to a computer screen. The computer displays the heart rate, respiratory status, time of day, and any abnormal changes that may be occurring such as cardiac arrhythmia, increased blood pressure, fluid retention, etc. Peripheral interferences to the cardio-vascular system can be eliminated by performing the subtotal ventricular volume resuscitation (VV resuscitation) which is an advanced technique of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The advantages of this procedure are that there is no necessity for a general anesthetic or Lidocaine injections and it is less invasive than the traditional techniques.

Bourbon Whiskey Is the Most Popular Whiskey in America and In Many Other Countries around the World

Image
  Whiskey or single malt whiskey is simply a form of distilled beverage made by distilling alcohol from grain mash or even by blending both. Different grains are utilized for different types, such as corn, barley, rye, and wheat. In Scotland, they call their whiskey black tea, a lighter caramel scotch, Irish cream, and liqueur. Whichever form is utilized, the result is usually a flavorful and smooth drink that has a distinct taste, and many people prefer a whiskey with a lower alcohol content. For example, single malt whiskey is the least expensive. The highest price however is the least distilled; that is Bourbon whiskey. Bourbon whiskey is the most popular whiskey in America and in many other countries around the world. Its price range is very wide, starting from as low as about US$ 12 a bottle to over a hundred dollars. So the price definitely varies. Whichever class you belong to, there is always a whiskey that will suit your preference. Single malt scotch whiskey is made ...

Hard Surface Flooring Market Is Expected To Witness Robust Growth As Mohawk Industries Introduces Newly Imagined 30,000-Square Foot Floor Space At The International Surface Event (TISE)

Image
  There are many reasons why people choose hard surface floors over other types of flooring. Hard surfaces offer a level of durability and are very aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, choosing this type of flooring can be confusing and costly. There are four main hard surface varieties namely vinyl plank, laminate, solid hardwood, and engineered wood. Each has their own style strengths and provide different advantages. Increasing population coupled with rapid urbanization is expected to drive growth of the global hard surface flooring market . According to the United Nations (UN), by 2050, around 68% of the global population is expected to live in urban areas, increasing from 55% in 2018. According to the same source, in 2018, around 4.2 billion people were living in urban areas, increasing from 751 million in 1950. Furthermore, according to the World Bank, in 2019, the global population reached 7.674 billion, increasing from 6.84 billion in 2009. As a result of this, building...
