Physiological closed-loop-controlled devices are a popular choice among anesthesiologists, especially for use in intensive care. These devices use physiological sensors to automatically change the rate at which fluids and medications are delivered. The device's advanced capabilities reduce the risk of seizures and is also designed for portability. Some of the leading manufacturers of PCLC devices include NeuroWave Systems Inc. and Medsteer.
Increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases, geriatric population, rising healthcare expenditures, and government support for the development of respiratory care devices are all expected to boost the market during the forecast period. In the coming years, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a fast rate, with many emerging nations witnessing an increase in the prevalence of pulmonary diseases and aging populations. Demand for respiratory devices is expected to increase during the forecast period. Increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, is projected to increase significantly in Asia Pacific. As a result of increased investments in industrialization, air pollution is increasing. The adult and child population is more susceptible to respiratory diseases.
The Global Anesthesia and Respiratory Devices Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 27,623.8 Mn in 2019 and is expected to increase to US$ 44,241.2 Mn by 2027, witnessing a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period (2019-2027)
The National Hospital of Kyrgyzstan recently acquired 12 anesthetic-respiratory machines through the Emergency Response to COVID-19 project, funded by the World Bank. These machines provide general anesthesia, ventilation, and the monitoring of vital parameters during an anesthetic procedure.
Besides delivering anesthesia and respiratory gases, these devices can also help to monitor and control the heart rate and blood pressure. They also help to develop a temporary loss of sensation that allows surgeons to perform their surgeries with greater precision. These devices are widely used in hospitals, ambulatory care centres, and even in the home. With the improvements in the healthcare industry, more patients are able to receive care without the assistance of a physician. Among hospitals, anesthesia and respiratory devices are most common in healthcare facilities. For instance, hospitals use respiratory equipment and specialized anesthesia devices to provide quality care to patients. Clinics and physician offices will grow at a moderate rate. Nevertheless, hospitals will continue to dominate the market for respiratory and anesthesia equipment.
Key market drivers include the growing prevalence of respiratory disorders, rapid urbanization, increased tobacco consumption, and extended levels of government support. Further, increasing investments in implementing new technological solutions will increase competitiveness of leading players in the market.
A carbon dioxide detector measures the amount of carbon dioxide released while the patient is breathing. It measures the end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration to assist the anaesthetist to monitor the lungs and the patient's metabolism. The anaesthetist must ensure the correct placement of the breathing circuit before starting the anaesthetic procedure. In addition, an anaesthesia gas machine must be able to provide enough oxygen to the patient.
The anaesthesia machine uses purified gas and compressed air to deliver anesthetics and oxygen to the patient. Although anaesthetic machines may look complex, they are actually very simple devices. They consist of a gas source and a flow meter. Once the mixture has reached the appropriate concentration, the anaesthetist adds inhalational agents. These agents are usually liquids and are introduced into the gas mixture by a vaporizer.
