Pricol Limited handed over an anaesthesia workstation to Coimbatore Medical College and Hospital (CMCH) on Tuesday for use at the operation theatre. Vanitha Mohan, chairperson of Pricol, said in a release that as part of the COVID-19 management initiatives in the district, the company committed contribution of ₹1 crore to Chief Minister’s Relief Fund. Part of this, which includes two-day salary contribution by the employees of Pricol, is donated as essential equipment and materials to the CMCH. Based on the request of the Dean of CMCH A. Nirmala, an RT-PCR testing equipment was handed over last month. Now, a state-of-the-art anaesthesia workstation had been handed over to the hospital. This integrated anaesthesia workstation would serve as a complete anaesthesia and respiratory gas delivery and monitoring system. It combined advanced ventilation features, gas delivery and agent vapourising with patient monitoring and information management to form an integrated anaesthesia care station, the release said.
