Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This well-established text describes the principles, applications and design of the medical instrumentation most commonly used in hospitals. Because equipment changes with time, the authors stress fundamental principles of operation and general types of equipment. They avoid detailed descriptions and photographs of specific models. Design principles are emphasized so that a scientist with only some background in electronics can gain enough information to design instruments that may not be commercially available. Since biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field, the authors have provided varied healthcare industry applications for each type of instrument.

Book News Annotation:

New edition of a text which describes the principles, applications, and design of the medical instruments most commonly used in hospitals. Stresses fundamental principles of operation and general types of equipment rather than detailed descriptions of specific models. Fourteen chapters discuss basic concepts, sensors and principles, amplifiers and signal processing, biopotential electrodes and amplifiers, blood pressure and sound, measurement of flow and volume of blood and of the respiratory system, chemical biosensors, laboratory instrumentation and imaging systems, therapeutic and prosthetic devices, and electrical safety.

Synopsis:

This contributed book provides the premiere reference on medical instrumentation as well as a comprehensive overview of the basic concepts of medical instrumentation illustrating the interdisciplinary nature of bioinstrumentation. This revised edition features new material on infant apnea monitors, impedance pneumography, the design of cardiac pacemakers, and disposable defibrillator electrodes and their standards.

Synopsis:

The premiere reference on medical instrumentation provides a comprehensive overview of the basic concepts of medical instrumentation, showing the interdisciplinary nature of bioinstrumentation. This revised edition features new material on infant apnea monitors, impedance pneumography, the design of cardiac pacemakers and disposable defibrillator electrodes and their standards.

Provides excellent, well-grounded examples using real medical devices such as the analysis of an electrocardiograph.
-- Offers a good balance between chemistry, physiology and biomedical instruments.
