BMST 121 — Biomedical II
This course delves into the intricacies of two vital medical devices - defibrillators and electrosurgery units (ESUs). This course builds upon foundational knowledge in biomedical technology, focusing specifically on the design, operation, and application of defibrillators and ESUs. Through a blend of theoretical studies, hands-on laboratory experiences, and group activities, students will gain comprehensive insights into the generation of electric shocks for defibrillation and the mechanisms by which ESUs cut and coagulate tissues. Emphasis is placed on understanding schematics, testing device outputs, and ensuring compliance with quality control measures and regulatory standards.
