30th DaY of AttaChMent

I had to complete the checking of devices such as transport physiologic monitor and resuscitators by tomorrow afternoon as There is JP morgan marathon that is sponsored by alexandra hospital. The marathon is a charity drive. Since Alexandra hospital is covering the cost of the marathon, portable devices are loaned for wednesday. I just have to do the functioning check and the accuracy of resuscitators, Autovent3000. I took quite some time figuring out the connection of the device. For example, i swapped the connection of tubings of the source gas inlets with the patient valve outlets. After looking through the user manual, i know more about the connection of the device. It is purely a pneumatic unit. I used a flow analyzer to check the tidal volume delivered and the frequency in terms of bpm. The resuscitator considered accurate if the readings is +/- 10 % of the standard value. Sometimes, the readings will be like out of range by 50. I asked Mr Sin and he said it is pretty alright as it is just slightly off. Thankfully, i got to finish all 4 resuscitators by today. I going to start on the checking of the monitor ( welch Ally's propaq) and hopefully i am able to finish all of the devices before collection.

Remember the manikin that i spent a lot of time doing it? Mr Sin tried to repair it and he told me what went wrong. My soldering skills still have rooms for improvement. The skillreporter unable to turn on the manikin due to my poor skill of soldering. I shall make good use of my attachment in Alexandra Hospital to improve my soldering skills. Soldering in school is totally different with working environment in a way.
