Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute, under the guidance of our Honorable President sir is organising a series of Guest Lectures, FDPs and professional talks.
We express our heartfelt thanks to Prof. Dr. S. GeethaLakshmi our Vice Chancellor madam and Prof. Dr. C.B. Palanivelu our Registrar sir for their constant support and guidance.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering , in association with IIPC and Atheena Pandian Private Limited , organized an 8-day Training on Demonstration, Application and Dismantling of Medical Equipment . The Training took place from 19th June 2023 to 27th June 2023 at VOC214 from 9.30AM-4PM .
The objective of this training was to provide participants with practical knowledge and hands-on experience in various biomedical equipment used in the healthcare industry. The training covered a wide range of topics, including patient monitoring systems, ECG machines, defibrillators, oxygen concentrators, infusion and suction pumps, nebulizers, and much more.
Day 1: Patient Monitoring System and ECG. On the first day of the training, participants were introduced to the concept of patient monitoring systems and their significance in healthcare settings. They gained practical knowledge on ECG (Electrocardiography) machines and their operation, including electrode placement and interpretation of ECG waveforms.
Day 2: Defibrillator and Oxygen Concentrator. The second day focused on defibrillators, their types, and applications. Participants learned about the essential steps in defibrillation and practiced using defibrillators under the guidance of experienced professionals. Additionally, they were introduced to oxygen concentrators, their functionality, and their role in providing supplemental oxygen therapy.
Day 3: Infusion and Suction Pump. The third day was dedicated to infusion pumps and suction pumps. Participants learned about the different types of infusion pumps and gained hands-on experience in setting up and operating these devices. They also explored the functionality of suction pumps and their applications in healthcare settings.
Day 4: Nebulizer, Pulse Oximeter, and Foetal Doppler . On the fourth day participants were introduced to nebulizers, pulse oximeters, and fetal dopplers. They understood the working principles of nebulizers and their role in delivering aerosolized medication. Additionally, they learned about the significance of pulse oximeters in measuring oxygen saturation levels and gained practical experience in operating fetal dopplers for monitoring fetal heartbeats.
Day 5: Syringe Pump, Syringe Destroyer, and Shortwave Diathermy. The fifth day focused on syringe pumps, syringe destroyers, and shortwave diathermy devices. Participants learned about the accurate administration of medication using syringe pumps and gained hands-on experience in setting up and programming these devices. They also explored the safe disposal of used syringes using syringe destroyers. Furthermore, participants learned about the principles of shortwave diathermy and its therapeutic applications.
Day 6: Spirometer, CPAP, Hearing Aid, Stethoscope, and Sphygmomanometer. On the sixth day, participants were introduced to spirometers, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) devices, hearing aids, stethoscopes, and sphygmomanometers. They learned about the significance of spirometry in assessing lung function and gained hands-on experience. Additionally, participants learned about the application of CPAP devices for treating sleep apnea, the functionality of hearing aids, and the proper use of stethoscopes and sphygmomanometers.
Day 7: Thermometer, Manipol massage, TENS and Electrical stimulator . On Day 7, several therapeutic tools were introduced in the Physiotherapy Department. These tools included a Thermometer, Manipol massage device, TENS unit, and Electrical stimulator. Each tool served a unique purpose in aiding the treatment and rehabilitation process for patients.
Day 8: 3d Printer. On Day 8, the department welcomed the addition of a 3D printer, enhancing the overall capabilities of the Physiotherapy Department. The 3D printer enables the creation of customized orthotic and prosthetic devices, tailored to meet the specific needs of individual patients.
Furthermore, we would like to express our gratitude to Dr. C. Balakrishnan,Dean- Placement & IIPC for his unwavering support and guidance throughout the training.
We once again thank our management for the constant support, guidance and providing us the right platform for all our ventures.
