The Dnipro Hospital received modern equipment for extremely complex operations
Equipment worth more than 3 million hryvnias was purchased by the foundations of Viktor and Olena Pinchuk. A portable X-ray machine and anesthesia station were transferred to the hospital, which will help doctors save more people with complex injuries.
In recent months, all operating theaters in the hospital have been working for 18-20 hours every day, saving people with complex polytrauma almost non-stop. During the spring, teams of doctors performed more than 3,000 operations in 30 operating rooms. But with the new equipment, they will be able to save even more lives.
Yes, a portable X-ray machine will allow diagnostics to be carried out right in the operating room, which is much more efficient than when transporting the patient from the operating room to the stationary MRI. A fully automated anesthesia station will not only provide a significantly greater number of complex operations (the new station will become the hospital's seventh anesthesia station) but will also significantly reduce the burden on anesthesiologists.
"Modern anesthesia is, first of all, modern equipment. Anesthesia station Apus x3 is the safest device of all analogs. It allows to automate the anesthesia process as much as possible - from calculating the optimal dose of the drug to monitoring all the functions of the patient's body," says Anatoliy Galushchak, head of the polytrauma department.
"With the help of a high-frequency mobile X-ray system, we will be able to accurately and quickly monitor changes and damage to the spine and other organs right during the operation. Such a diagnosis will certainly help us provide high-quality care to severely injured people," says Dmytro Ovcharenko, head of the neurosurgery center.
Both devices have been assembled by a team of technical specialists and are already working as intended.
Since the beginning of the war, the Victor and Elena Pinchuk Foundations have allocated more than 30 million dollars to help the army and the civilian population.
