Application of the new Australian standard for clinical lighting.
A new Australian Standard "AS 1765-1975 Artificial Lighting for Clinical Observation" has recently been published. This specifies the quality of light necessary to accurately assess a patient's colour. The physical principles and terminology used in modern lighting are discussed, and the experimental work on which the new Standard is based is outlined. The only readily available fluorescent tubes which conform to the Standard are the imported Philips "TL40W/37" and the more efficient locally made "White Deluxe" tubes.
A new blood administration set.
A new blood administration set is described. It incorporates an in-line hand pump and a heat exchange coil and has a number of advantages over separate heating coils. The blood warming efficiency of the unit has been measured.
