Endoscopic ear surgery is the latest technique for performing surgical interventions on the hearing organs and is being actively introduced throughout the world. In some cases, endoscopic ear surgery may result in a less invasive operation that can be performed entirely through the ear canal. The endoscope is one of two tools surgeons can use to see well during ear surgery. The other tool is a specialized microscope.
Microscopes have been used in otology for over seventy years. They make structures appear larger and have a very bright light. Surgical microscopes are large devices, weighing hundreds of pounds. The lens of the microscope needs to be about a foot away from the object (or target) the surgeon is looking at. As a result, other structures between the target and the lens can block the view. To overcome blocked views, surgeons sometimes need to make a larger incision (for example behind the ear canal) or drill away bone.
An endoscope is another type of device that can help surgeons see during surgery. It is shaped like a narrow tube and the lens is at the tip. The lens can be placed extremely close to the target, less than half an inch (or thirty times closer than with the microscope). This allows a very detailed view. Because the endoscope is so narrow, it can be slid past blocking structures. The endoscope also provides a wide panoramic view, whereas the microscope provides a narrower view.
Despite all the advantages and disadvantages, endoscopy is a new technology for surgical interventions, which is actively developing around the world. The German company MGB is actively working to create high-quality optics with a minimum diameter of the optical tube. A wide range of video lenses and a powerful light source help to accurately visualize the place of intervention. Choosing the endoscopic equipment of the MGB company, you choose the quality and reliability confirmed by more than 100 years of experience.
Cleaning and disinfection of ultrasonic transducers is a thorough and very important process in the operation of an ultrasonic device. So, in today's realities, in the context of the global outbreak of COVID-19, this process must be treated with extreme caution and response.
All ALPINION transducers require gentle care, cleaning and use. Extended manufacturer's recommendations are at the user manual, but we briefly recall the main thing.
This information is intended to increase user awareness of the risks of disease transmission associated with using this equipment and provide guidance in making decisions directly affecting the safety of the patient as well as the equipment user.
Diagnostic ultrasound systems utilize ultrasound energy that must be coupled to the patient by direct physical contact. Depending on the type of examination, this contact occurs with a variety of tissues ranging from intact skin in a routine exam to recirculating blood in a surgical procedure. The level of risk of infection varies greatly with the type of contact. One of the most effective ways to prevent transmission between patients is with single use or disposable devices. However, ultrasound transducers are complex and expensive devices that must be reused between patients. It is very important, therefore, to minimize the risk of disease transmission by using barriers and through proper processing between patients.
Using an inappropriate cleaning or disinfecting agent may damage the product. Cleaning products should be as close to neutral pH as possible. Any gel, cleaning or disinfectant products containing surfactants, methanol, ethanol, benzyl or methyl alcohol, bleach, methyl or ethyl paraben, polyethylene glycol, mineral oil, lubricant oil, oil based lotions, acetone, ammonia, anhydrous ammonia, iodine, iodine compounds, acids with pH5 or greater may damage or discolor your transducer.
To view recommended products from the manufacturer, see the table “Transducer Disinfectant Material Compatibility Table” list of approved products for cleaning and disinfecting ALPINION ultrasonic transducers.
What is the cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of ultrasound equipment?
Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization is a statistical decrease in the number of microbes on the surface, rather than their complete removal. As defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [1]:
Cleaning is the removal of visible soil (eg, organic and inorganic material) from objects and surfaces and normally is accomplished manually or mechanically using water with detergents or enzymatic products.
Thorough cleaning is essential before high-level disinfection and sterilization because inorganic and organic material that remains on the surfaces of instruments interfere with the effectiveness of these processes.
Meticulous cleaning of the instrument is the key to an initial reduction of the microbial/organic load by at least 99%.1 This cleaning is followed by a disinfecting procedure to ensure a high degree of protection from infectious disease transmission, even if a disposable barrier covers the instrument during use.
The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine [2] and the CDC describe several levels of disinfection and sterilization:
Disinfection describes a process that eliminates many or all pathogenic microorganisms, except bacterial spores.
Low-Level Disinfection — destruction of most bacteria, some viruses, and some fungi. Low-level disinfection will not necessarily inactivate Mycobacterium tuberculosis or bacterial spores.
Mid-Level Disinfection — inactivation of M Tuberculosis, bacteria, most viruses, most fungi, and some bacterial spores.
High-Level Disinfection — destruction/removal of all microorganisms except bacterial spores.
Sterilization describes a process that destroys or eliminates all forms of microbial life and is carried out in healthcare facilities by physical or chemical methods. High-level sterilizers and disinfectants recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [3] are listed in the table.

Ultrasound diagnostics (USD) has become an integral part of modern medicine due to its high accuracy, safety and availability. This is an examination method that uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to create images of internal organs and tissues. Ultrasound is an extremely important tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of many diseases. Let's consider the advantages of this method in more detail.
Ultrasound examinations provide detailed images of internal organs, allowing doctors to accurately diagnose the disease. Eg:
Cardiology: Ultrasound of the heart (echocardiography) allows you to evaluate the structure and function of the heart, identify pathology of valves and other structures.
Gynecology and Obstetrics: Ultrasound is used to monitor fetal development, identify developmental abnormalities, and determine the condition of the uterus and ovaries.
Abdominal examinations: Ultrasound helps evaluate the condition of the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, and other abdominal organs.
Thanks to high accuracy, doctors can quickly and correctly make a diagnosis, which significantly increases the effectiveness of treatment. Multifunctional ultrasound systems allow you to combine all types of examination in one device.
One of the main advantages of ultrasound is its safety. It does not use ionizing radiation like X-rays or CT scans, making it safe even for pregnant women and children. Other security aspects include:
No Harmful Effects: Ultrasound has no known harmful effects when used correctly.
Non-invasive: The examination is performed without entering the body, eliminating the risk of infections and complications associated with invasive procedures.
Speed: The ultrasound procedure takes little time and does not require special preparation of the patient.
One of the requirements of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) is the mandatory display of thermal and mechanical indices of ultrasound examination, which increases the safety standards of conducting examinations on modern ultrasound machines.
Ultrasound is available to a wide range of patients due to the relatively low cost of equipment and procedure. This allows it to be used in various medical institutions, from large hospitals to private clinics. Benefits of accessibility include:
Cost-effective: Ultrasound is significantly less expensive than many other imaging modalities, making it accessible to patients of varying financial means.
Mobility: Modern ultrasound machines can be portable, which allows them to be used in emergency rooms or on-site medical examinations.
Wide Range of Applications: Ultrasound can be used to diagnose a variety of diseases in a variety of medical specialties, making it a versatile tool.
Today there is a wide range of ultrasound devices of different levels of expertise to suit any budget.
Ultrasound diagnostics is an indispensable tool of modern medicine due to its accuracy, safety and accessibility. It allows physicians to quickly and accurately diagnose disease, safely screen patients of all ages and health conditions, even at home, and is cost-effective and accessible to a wide range of patients. These advantages make ultrasound one of the most important diagnostic methods in modern medicine.
In modern medicine, artificial lung ventilation (ALV) devices play a crucial role in sustaining the lives of patients with various types of respiratory failure.
The basic operating principles of such devices are based on several key concepts and technologies that ensure effective and safe ventilation:
Positive Pressure Principle
The ALV device operates on the principle of creating positive pressure, which facilitates the entry of air or gas mixtures into the patient’s lungs. The device ensures that air enters the airways, preventing alveolar collapse and maintaining proper gas exchange.
Ventilation Based on Controlled Variables
Artificial lung ventilation devices use three key controlled variables that determine the ventilation modes: pressure-based ventilation, volume-based ventilation, and combined ventilation that integrates both approaches.
Pressure-Based Ventilation: In this mode, the device maintains a set level of pressure in the patient’s airways. This helps ensure proper alveolar expansion and adequate gas exchange, which is critical for patients with various respiratory pathologies. This approach helps to avoid excessive pressure on the lungs, which could lead to tissue damage.
Volume-Based Ventilation: This mode delivers a specified volume of air with each breath, allowing for control over ventilation parameters and ensuring stable gas exchange. This approach is particularly useful for patients who require maintaining a consistent tidal volume.
Combined Pressure and Volume-Based Ventilation (known as "PRVC - Pressure Regulated Volume Control"): This method combines the advantages of both previous approaches, allowing for simultaneous control of pressure and volume. It provides an adaptive approach to ventilation, where the device automatically adjusts parameters based on changes in the patient’s condition. With this mode, physicians can implement lung protection strategies, adjusting to the patient’s lung compliance with each breath, minimizing the risk of complications.
Flow Sensors
ALV devices utilize two main types of flow sensors—"Hot Wire" and "Different Pressure"—for accurate measurement of flow and pressure within the circuit.
Hot Wire Sensors, located inside the exhalation valve, operate by heating a wire and measuring temperature changes, which allows precise tracking of the gas mixture flow rate. This type of sensor provides stability and durability, which is crucial for high-quality respiratory support.
Different Pressure Sensors measure the pressure difference between two points in the respiratory circuit and are the most accurate among sensors. They can be installed either distally or proximally in the patient’s circuit, depending on the patient’s type.
To ensure optimal respiratory support conditions, ALV devices should offer the ability to select appropriate sensors depending on the patient’s type.
Modern artificial lung ventilation (ALV) devices utilize various functions and ventilation modes to provide optimal respiratory support:
Ventilation Modes: ALV systems offer a range of ventilation modes, including Continuous Mandatory Ventilation (CMV), Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV), and Spontaneous Ventilation (SPONT). This allows doctors to select the optimal mode according to the patient's needs, taking into account their clinical condition and the required level of respiratory support.
Ventilation Parameter Control: ALV devices continuously monitor key parameters such as airway pressure, tidal volume, respiratory rate, and more. These indicators allow physicians to adjust the ventilation mode to ensure optimal support.
Data Monitoring and Visualization: ALV devices are equipped with capabilities to display respiratory cycle graphs, trends, and color-coded signals on screens. This enables doctors to easily track respiratory dynamics and adjust ventilation parameters in real time. For example, graphical displays of spontaneous and mechanical breathing provide an accurate analysis of lung function.
Automatic Control: Modern ALV devices are equipped with automatic control functions, allowing the device to independently adapt to the changing respiratory conditions of the patient.
Safety and Accuracy: Critical aspects of safety include monitoring oxygen saturation (SpO2), volumetric capnography (VCO2), and sidestream capnography (etCO2), among other modern methods. These functions enable doctors to ensure proper oxygenation, prevent potential complications, and monitor changes in gas exchange.
Each artificial lung ventilation (ALV) system offers a range of unique features aimed at enhancing the efficiency of ventilation and ensuring comfort for both patients and medical staff. Of particular note are the ALV devices from Event Medical, designed to provide high-level support for patients weighing as little as 200 grams.
An important feature is the ability of these devices to operate both from a built-in turbine and from a centralized compressed air supply system or compressor, making them versatile for various medical settings.
Innovative approaches to patient monitoring have also become a significant part of these ALV systems. The primary objective is to implement protective ventilation strategies based on monitoring various critical indicators.
Monitoring "Driving Pressure" or real-time ventilation pressure, stress index (SI), and the impact of the ALV device on the patient optimally distributes the risk of lung injury caused by mechanical ventilation (known as Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury or VILI), such as volutrauma (lung damage due to excessive air volume) and barotrauma (damage due to excessive pressure).
A crucial aspect is the monitoring of esophageal pressure, which allows for the assessment of transpulmonary pressure and lung elasticity, key to ensuring safe ventilation.
One of the key advantages is the adaptive (intelligent) mode function, which automatically transitions from full ventilation support to spontaneous (assisted) ventilation with gradual reduction of mechanical aid from the device. This feature is particularly important in the process of weaning the patient off the ventilator.
Thanks to technological advancements, artificial lung ventilation devices are becoming increasingly accessible and safer. Today, there is a wide range of ALV systems, but the main feature is their versatility and comprehensive respiratory support, including both invasive and non-invasive ventilation for patients of all age groups.

The role of ultrasound diagnostics is especially significant in detecting pregnancy. Ultrasound is the primary method for confirming pregnancy and evaluating its development. In the early stages, ultrasound helps determine the implantation site of the embryo, detect ectopic pregnancy, and assess the fetal heartbeat, providing peace of mind for expectant mothers and ensuring timely medical intervention when necessary.
The advantages of ultrasound diagnostics in gynecology include the non-invasiveness of the method, safety, accessibility, and relative affordability, while offering high accuracy and speed. Ultrasound allows real-time monitoring of processes.
Modern ultrasound systems have significantly evolved with the introduction of advanced technologies that improve image quality and expand diagnostic capabilities. Ultrasound systems from Alpinion deserve special mention, utilizing cutting-edge innovations to ensure high precision and diagnostic informativeness:
Three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound imaging allows for a more accurate assessment of anatomical structures, enabling detailed study of organs and tissues
Doppler imaging, including color, power, and pulse-wave Doppler, evaluates blood flow in vessels, crucial for diagnosing pregnancy complications such as placenta previa or fetal health assessment, as well as detecting vascular abnormalities and tumors
Elastography is an innovative technology that assesses tissue stiffness, useful for detecting and differentiating tumor formations, such as fibroids or malignant tumors, since different tissues have varying elasticity
Automated measurement systems significantly reduce human error and improve diagnostic accuracy. For example, algorithms for automatically measuring endometrial thickness, follicle size, fetal parameters, and more ensure consistent and accurate results
The use of high-frequency transducers provides high-resolution imaging, particularly important for examining small structures.
The integration of advanced technologies into modern ultrasound systems greatly enhances their diagnostic capabilities. These innovations enable doctors to obtain detailed and accurate images, which is key for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and monitoring of gynecological diseases and pregnancy. Thanks to these technologies, ultrasound diagnostics remain at the forefront of medical imaging, providing high-quality healthcare.
Technological progress is making ultrasound systems increasingly accessible. Today, a wide range of ultrasound machines with different levels of expertise are available to suit any budget.
