BIOMEDICAL ARTICLES PART-2 DEFIBRILLATOR,PACEMAKER, DIATHERMY & ELECTROSURGICAL UNIT (ESU)

DEFIBRILLATOR & PACEMAKER

Defibrillator is a device that delivers a therapeutic dose of electrical energy to the affected heart.

This depolarizes a critical mass of the heart muscle and allows normal sinus rhythm to be reestablished by the body’s natural pacemaker of the heart.

Pacemaker

It is a medical device which uses electrical impulses, delivered by electrodes contacting the heart muscles, to regulate the beating of the heart.

DIATHERMY

The term diathermy means “electrically induced heat” and
is commonly used for muscle relaxation. It is also a method
of heating tissue electromagnetically or ultrasonically for
therapeutic purposes in medicine.

C-ARM
X-Ray Image Intensifier (XRII)

“C-Arm” is a name given to
specialized X-ray imaging
machines, due to their special
arced semi-circular design. CArms
use X-rays for imaging,
but are designed to work with
lower amounts of exposure.
