Equipment Used In Belize Medical Care

By Jennifer Collins


People need adequate care in order to survive. The Health care is one of the various services that can improve human health. It is the promotion of the physical and the mental health of people through the treatment and diagnosis of various health disorders, diseases, illnesses, injuries and other dysfunctions. Every health practitioners must work towards ensuring that the health and well-being of the people are provided. Some of these practitioners are Psychologists, Nurses, and therapists. Many health devices are used in Belize medical care to enhance people's lives. These devices make lives possible and reduce the high chances of occurrences of the disorders.

For instance, the Medical Imaging machine is very effective in the diagnosis of various vital internal organs in the patient's body. It is responsible for visualizing the body system to examine malfunctioning in the cells, tissues, and organs respectively. Through this process, disorders can be revealed and the facilitation of treatment is made possible. It makes use of ultrasounds and endoscopy when administering the treatment.

Health experts such as the Physicists and the Cardiologists make use of the instruments. The Medical Imaging machine can be broadly categorized into the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and the Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). The medical professionals in Belize have been trained to handle these devices effectively.

Another essential device used is the Basic Life Support. Issues that demand urgent attention and emergencies make use of this machinery in order to protect lives as fast as possible. For example, people with severe and fatal accidental injuries in the brain require the use of this safety device, otherwise, death may occur. People who suffer from stroke, severe physical injuries, birth complexities and adults who suffer from heart attack must make use of the device when admitted to the hospital.

These support machines may include the use of Heart-Lung machines, Dialysis machine, and anesthetic machines. The Heart-Lung machine makes use of many treatment techniques to ensure the free flow and circulation of blood and inhaled gases. The dialysis machine has been considered to be the most effective apparatus for chronic kidney diseases and disorders, injuries, inflammations and other abnormal functioning. The Nurse anesthetists make use of the anesthetic machine in order to promote the administration of anesthetics into the blood of the patient. For example, the continuous flow anesthetic device has been widely recommended for the proper supply of medical gases such as oxygen.

The infusion pumps, LASIK machines, and the lasers are regarded as treatment devices or equipment. The Infusion Pump helps to carry vital nutrients into the body. These nutrients are in the form of liquid substances or fluids and are carried into the circulatory system with the aid of this device. While the large volume pumps infuse large amounts, the small volume pumps are specially used for the transportation of hormones and drugs.

The LASIK machines or the laser vision correction provides a long-lasting solution to people with eye disorders such as astigmatism, short sight, and hyperopia by reshaping the cornea for an improved vision.

The lasers are medical instruments that emit light through the process known as optical amplification. They are useful in the treatment of skin diseases, surgeries, kidney stone removal and other treatments.
