The study, “U.S. Markets for Anesthesia Devices and Information Systems 2009,” notes that the introduction of technologies, such as laryngeal mask airways, level of consciousness monitoring and anesthesia information systems, has kick-started this market, creating greater opportunities for market growth throughout the forecast period, according to the release.
Surgical facilities will also continue to invest in new anesthesia technology, as they strive for greater patient safety, anesthesia effectiveness and cost savings, and particularly as they face a heavier load of high-risk patients with clinical staff shortages, according to the release. In the long term, investment in technology will be key in these markets and will contribute to positive, albeit volatile, growth during this forecast period.
