Anesthesia Monitoring Devices Market Continues to Grow Owing to the Rising Demand for Surgical Procedures

 

Anesthesia is used to induce unconsciousness during a surgery. Anesthesia monitoring devices are used during a surgical process to check a patient's response toward anesthesia, as well as to track vital signs such as patient temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate under sedation in the operation theater. Moreover, these devices help reduce the risk involved in anesthesia. The need for these devices depends on the type of surgery and it varies in every case. Anesthesia monitoring devices help monitor the dose of anesthesia and reduces the risks involved in anesthesia and surgery.

Market Dynamics:

Increasing number of surgical procedures due to increasing incidence or prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer, is expected to propel the growth of the anesthesia monitoring devices market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year.

Moreover, increasing incidence of spinal disorders and the growing geriatric population is expected to augment the growth of the anesthesia monitoring devices market. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, each year, around 17,700 new cases of spinal cord injury are diagnosed in the United States. In 2018, around 54 people in the U.S. (per one million) suffered from spinal cord injury.

Furthermore, the introduction of various new monitoring techniques, such as goal-directed fluid therapy, monitoring the depth of anesthesia, advanced neurological monitoring, and technological advancements are expected to drive the market growth. However, increase in product recalls and high cost of anesthesia monitoring devices is expected to restrain the anesthesia monitoring devices market growth.
