Medical devices are often very complex, but while there are differences in design from one producer to another, the principles of operation and, more significantly, the physiological and anatomical qualities on which they operate are universal. Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Technology, Second Edition describes the uses and applications of medical technology and the principles of medical devices management to familiarize readers with their prospective work environment. Composed by an experienced biomedical engineering technologist, the book describes the technological devices, different hardware, tools, and test devices utilized in today’s health-care arena. Photos of representative devices; the technical, physiological, and anatomical basis for their function; and where they are frequently discovered in healthcare facilities are detailed for a large range of biomedical gadgets, from defibrillators to electrosurgery units. Throughout, the text includes real-life examples of the work that biomedical engineering technologists do. Appendices supply useful details such as regular medical values, a list of regulative bodies, Internet resources, and info on training programs. Thoroughly modified and updated, this 2nd edition includes more examples and illustrations as well as end-of-chapter concerns to evaluate readers’ understanding. This available text supplies an essential overview of clinical devices and the devices that are used straight with clients in the course of their look after diagnostic or treatment functions. The author’s practical approach and organization, describing everyday functions and applications of the different medical devices, prepares readers for scenarios they will encounter on the job. What’s New in This Edition: Modified and updated throughout, consisting of a larger range of devices, full-color anatomy illustrations, and more information about test equipment New, integrated end-of-chapter questions More real-life examples of Biomedical Engineering Technologist (BMET) work, including the experiences of “Joe Biomed” and his coworkers New appendices with details about typical medical values, regulative bodies, educational programs in the United States and Canada, worldwide BMET associations, Internet resources, and lists of test equipment producers More illustrations
