Hospital

Clinical engineers provide clinical skills such as extracorporeal circulation, blood purification, and artificial respiration. Also supervise the medical equipment in the hospital to ensure efficiency and safety in medical care.

1.　Medical Equipment Management

We use the ME equipment management system to manage a large number of medical devices (infusion pump, syringe pump, patient monitoring devices, etc.).

2.　Extracorporeal circulation

Operations management of artificial cardiopulmonary bypass device, myocardial protection fluid supply device, and autologous blood collection device during cardiovascular surgery. We also provide extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe circulatory failure and respiratory failure.

3.　Blood purification

In blood purification (hemodialysis, plasma exchange, etc.) for neonates, childrens and adults, all patients are transferred to the wards for safe treatment.

4.　Artificial respiration

We are in charge of the central management of all ventilators and high-flow therapy devices in the hospital, and handle setup, ventilator circuit replacement, ventilator maintenance, and problems during use.
We also participate in hospital rounds as a member of the RST (respiratory support team) to ensure safety during ventilator use.

6.　Other duties

Fetal treatment in obstetrics, such as fetoscopic laser photocoagulation of placental communicating vessels (FLP) for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) ,radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence of acardiac twins, and fetal thoracic amniotic shunt tube placement, etc.; cardiac catheterization and treatment in pediatric cardiology, such as cardiac electrophysiology (EPS) , percutaneous catheter myocardial ablation, checking the function of cardiac pacemakers; nitric oxide inhalation therapy for pulmonary hypertension, and hypoxia inhalation therapy with nitrogen for congenital heart diseases with high pulmonary flow.
