Governments in developed and developing countries are giving importance to patient safety during surgical procedures and treatment. To offer better quality care, the governments are providing support by offering reimbursement, which is increasing adoption of advanced anesthesia medical devices. Safe clinical practice on inhalation of anesthesia gases and control over the volatile anesthetic gas delivered to the individual is the main purpose of developing anesthesia gas monitors. Continuous monitoring of anesthesia gas, oxygen inhalation, exhalation of carbon dioxide, and levels of nitrous oxide are the basic features available in anesthesia gas monitors.

Home-care diagnostics and monitoring devices refer to a wide range of medical products (including heart rate monitors, blood glucose level indicators, and nebulizers), and services, that provide health monitoring, treatment, and physical support to individuals. People need not visit a hospital or any other healthcare facility to benefit from these offerings; they can be accessed with comfort at homes.

The presence of bacteria and fungi in blood leads to blood stream infections. Bacteria and fungi enter into the blood and cause severe complications and infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis and AIDS. Bloodstream infections are caused when bacteria enter the bloodstream; this may occur through a wound, injection, or through a surgical procedure. Symptoms of bacteremia may include fever, chills, malaise, nausea, diarrhea, shortness of breath, and vomiting.

The global IVD instruments market is expected to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period. The factors like increasing older population, rise in incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases and infections are driving the market. Cancer, tuberculosis, malaria, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are the main factors for the rise in diagnosed population. In addition, increasing public awareness, rapid technological innovations, product approvals from regulatory authorities and launches are expected to positively influence the market growth over the next few years.

Robotic or computer-assisted surgery was primarily developed to help doctors perform minimally invasive surgery - operations carried out through a small incision in the skin and requiring little to no stitches or staples to close. In robotic surgery, doctors precisely manipulate miniature tools attached to a robotic arm using a console and video monitor, instead of directly operating on a patient.

Strategic Trends in Private Equity and Venture Capital Funding for Healthcare provides a comprehensive analysis on emerging investment trends within the healthcare industry. Private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) funds have been important participants in a wide range of industries for many decades - particularly the healthcare industry. They remain one of the few sources of funding for innovative start-up companies, which often bring disruptive technologies and life-saving medical interventions to the market.

Global Drug Delivery Technologies - Innovation Driven by Rapidly Expanding Injectables Market and Increasing Usage of Complex Biologics during the Forecast Period discusses the drug delivery technologies and trends in the market and the evolving business strategies being adopted and leveraged by companies globally. The ultimate goal of drug delivery research is to develop formulations and devices that can be used in clinical applications to treat various diseases.

Surgical navigation also referred to as computer-assisted image-guided surgery is a procedure for locating a specific target site for surgery using computer software. Surgical navigation systems aid in continuously tracking surgical instrumentation in relation to the patient's anatomy, displaying the real-time relationship on a computer screen. This equipment helps to improve precision during surgery and provides a wide field of view to reduce line-of-sight issues.

MI spine surgery utilizes advanced and innovative technology to treat back and neck pain caused by various spinal disorders. Special instruments and viewing systems are used by surgeons to work through small incisions. These include endoscopes, tubular refractors, and image guidance systems. The demand for MI surgery is increasing owing to fewer injuries to the tissue, less pain, a higher accuracy rate, reduced hospital stay, and low cost.

Lung cancer is a common cause of mortality and morbidity in both developed and developing countries. Smoking is a major cause of lung cancer, though it also occurs in non-smokers. Lung cancer can be categorized into two major types, namely NSCLC and SCLC. NSCLC is the commonest type of lung cancer and constitutes almost 85%-90% of the total diagnosed cases. It grows and spreads quite slowly.
