Here are some OR photos from Monday. Note in the lower photo, they are operating on an infant (out of view), and while Taha and Sisenda are discussing the case, the anesthetist is manually bagging the infant, meaning he is regularly squeezing the bag, or bulb, to provide for the breathing function while under the anesthetic. In the US, this would be performed by a ventilator. They have ventilators in the OR's here, but not a pediatric version. So the infants are bagged manually. I imagine it takes a lot of concentration and stamina to keep this up for the length of a surgery.
