At 8 p . m ., Grant is using an operating microscope to locate a gushing blood vessel perilously close to a patient's optic nerve.

Ultrasound with Doppler, Ventilators for critical care, Operating Microscopes, Dialysis Unit, Blood Gas Analysers, Cardiac Monitoring equipment, EEG / EMG and ancillary aids complement the facility.

Then, while stitching the grafts made from the mammary artery and veins taken from the leg, Akchurin turns to the higher magnification afforded by operating microscopes.
24.
Before Akchurin became a heart surgeon he repaired severed digits and limbs by using microsurgical techniques and by looking through an operating microscope suspended from overhead.
25.
Design features of an operating microscope are : magnification typically in the range from 4x-40x, components that are easy to sterilize or disinfect in order to ensure cross-infection control.
26.
Draped in a two-tone blue and olive scrub suit, Akchurin peered at different times in the operation through either jeweler-type loupes strapped to his head or an operating microscope suspended overhead.
27.
Advances in operating microscopes enabled surgeons to have a more magnified view of the surgical field, while advances in materials science enabled them to use sutures finer than a human hair.
28.
The use of the operating microscope in spinal surgery allows the procedure to be performed through a smaller incision and with greater safety because the surgeon's visualization of nerve tissue is improved.
29.
An example of a procedure which commonly uses an operating microscope would be endodontic retreatment, where the magnification provided by the operating microscope improves visualisation of the anatomy present leading to better outcomes for the patient.
