A new high precision fingertip controlled aspiration device for extracapsular cataract surgery.

The electronically foot-switch controlled irrigation/aspiration instruments have several disadvantages due to the big 'dead space' between the pump and the aspiration cannula. A new high precision fingertip controlled aspiration system is described. A specially designed ball valve connects the aspiration cannula directly to the vacuum reservoir, thereby almost eliminating the dead space. The system is nonelectric, it has no moving parts, it is easy to operate and highly cost efficient.

Automatic physiotherapy instruction.

An automatic tape-recorder system constructed to provide intermittent physiotherapy instruction for postoperative patients is described. Eighty patients, who had been given nitrous oxide and relaxant anaesthesia, were observed during the first 4 postoperative hours. Those who had received pre-operative physiotherapy instruction, responded well. They followed the programme and blood-gas analysis demonstrated elevations of arterial blood oxygen tensions after they had followed the instructions. The system can be recommended as a supplement to physiotherapy in a busy post-operative ward. It also protects the patient from unpleasant noises in the environment.
