The corona centers of Sayaji and Gotri Hospitals are constantly being equipped with state-of-the-art life-saving devices by the state government. A total of 50 oxygen concentrators have recently been supplied to Sayaji and Gotri hospitals. SSG hospital gets 20 and Gotri gets such concentrators.
Informing about this special medical device the administrative nodal officer of the COVID department of Sayaji Hospital, Dr.O. B. Belim said that the device is very useful in absorbing oxygen from the air and giving it to the patient. The device is a handy and convenient alternative to an oxygen bottle. The COVID section here is divided into 6 floors. It can be used as easily as a portable oxygen cylinder when a patient is in need of oxygen needs to be moved from one department to another. As it absorbs oxygen from the air, the supply is uninterrupted and it can be powered by electricity as well as batteries.
This device can be used to deliver continuous oxygen to the patient’s arteries even when a patient on oxygen has to be transported from one clinic to another. Thus, this machine is useful in various ways and is very easy and convenient to use.
This type of device can be used very easily by doctors, nursing, and paramedical staff. It is also convenient to use for patients who are currently assigned as nursing assistants. Thus, vigilance is being taken to ensure that patients get proper and advanced treatment.
The department currently has as many as 150 ventilators available and recently 60 monitors have been provided by the state government. Dr. Vinod Rao, Officer on Special Duty and Education Secretary, periodically reviews these problems related to the availability of human resources, including facilities and solves them.
The doctors and staff are working in a very dedicated manner to provide proper care and treatment to their patients.
