An electronic timer was developed to assist anesthesiologists during total closed-circuit anesthesia. It provides acoustic signals to indicate precise timing for unit dose injections, improving patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Medical Device Engineering

Background:

  • The initial phase of total closed-circuit anesthesia requires frequent unit dose injections and gas flow adjustments.
  • This critical period demands precise timing and attention from the anesthesiologist.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an electronic timer to aid anesthesiologists during the demanding initial phase of total closed-circuit anesthesia.
  • To provide an accurate and timely alert system for critical anesthetic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a novel electronic timer.
  • The timer is designed to emit an acoustic signal.
  • The signal indicates the precise moment for administering unit doses based on the square of elapsed time.

Main Results:

  • A functional electronic timer was successfully constructed.
  • The device provides audible cues to assist anesthesiologists with critical timing during anesthesia.
  • The timer simplifies the management of unit dose injections and gas flow adjustments.

Conclusions:

  • The developed electronic timer can enhance safety and efficiency in total closed-circuit anesthesia.
  • This device offers a practical solution for managing critical anesthetic phases.
  • Further implementation could improve anesthesiologist workflow and patient outcomes.
