Abstract:Objective To discuss the management process, technology and economic benefits of the reuse of discontinued emergency
life-support equipment. Methods Taking the management of the reuse of PB760 ventilator in our hospital as an example, this
work demonstrated the feasibility and importance of the reuse of discontinued life-support equipment from the aspects of process,
technology and economic benefits. Results The practice of the reuse of the scrapped PB760 ventilator in our hospital proved that
the reuse of the scrapped ventilator greatly saved the time and costs for the maintenance of the failure of PB760 in our hospital.
Discussion It is of great practical value for hospitals to reuse the abandoned and discontinued emergency life-support equipment, and
medical workers should pay attention to the management of the reuse of scrapped emergency life-support equipment.
