In the 1840s, the introduction of ether, a surgical anesthetic, made surgical procedures more common. Initially, general anesthesia was given through a device that covered the nose and mouth of the patient. The concern for aspiration of gastric content was not appreciated, and postoperative pneumonia became a common problem. Trendelenburg (1869) designed the first inflatable cuff, a thin rubber bag that was fitted over the end of a tracheostomy tube. It created a tight seal to prevent aspiration during anesthesia. As an alternate method for tracheostomy, Macewen (1880) suggested passing an oral tube into the trachea to relieve an obstruction. Later, anesthesiologist Franz Kuhn used metal tubes and preferred the oral route over tracheostomy and popularized orotracheal anesthesia.

The considerable growth of the global beltdriven starter generator market is attributable to the unprecedented consumer shift from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles to Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicles (MHEVs). The growing awareness of the environmental impact of carbon emissions among consumers has accelerated the demand for technologies that minimize their carbon footprint. Moreover, the rising fuel costs are also encouraging consumers to minimize their fuel usage and focus on adopting solutions that improve fuel efficiency. Thus, all these factors are driving the demand for belt-driven starter generators in the market.

Automatic soap dispensers have become significant products across offices, restaurants, malls, and even homes. People have started using them as bathroom décor resulting in these becoming available in various styles. More developed countries are largely investing in automatic soap dispensers, which is increasing the demand for the same.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the toc analyzer market. TOC refers to a Total Organic Carbon analyzer, which utilizes a catalytic oxidation combustion technique at high temperature (the temperature raises up to 720 ºC), to convert organic carbon into CO2. The CO2 generated by oxidation is measured with a Non-dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) sensor.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the smart robot market. A smart robot is an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can learn from its environment and its experience and build on its capabilities based on that knowledge.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the smart mirror market. A Smart Mirror is a two-way mirror with an inbuilt display behind the glass. The display can show anything you want on the mirror's surface such as the current time, weather forecast, news feed, upcoming appointments, and more. Smart mirrors can come in all sizes from small table mirrors, to full bathroom mirrors.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the smart irrigation market. Smart irrigation systems are a combination of an advanced technology of sprinklers with nozzles that improve coverage and irrigation controllers that are watering and water conservation systems that monitor moisture-related conditions on your property and automatically adjust watering to optimal levels.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the smart display market. In computing, Smart Display was a Microsoft initiative to use a portable touchscreen LCD monitor as a thin client for PCs, connecting via Wi-Fi. Smart Display was announced in early 2002, released in early 2003 and discontinued in December 2003, having never achieved more than negligible market penetration.

According to BIS Research, operating room management refers to processes that ensure a smooth surgical workflow while reducing surgical times and enhancing patient outcomes. These involve processes such as those that enable data management, inventory management, scheduling and planning of surgeries, communication among surgical staff within and outside the OR, and improved visualization, reporting, and documentation. The definition of each of the types of OR management solutions has been outlined as follows.

Ventilators facilitate the inward and outward movement of breathable air from the lungs to offer mechanical ventilation to patients who have undergone a surgical procedure. Also, ventilatory support is provided to individuals who require emergency oxygen therapy in intensive-care medicine, home care, and emergency medicine. The patient is connected to a ventilator using an artificial airway, which is a hollow tube that goes through the mouth into the main airway or trachea. A mechanical ventilator provides respiratory support until patients can breathe on their own.
