The Beast, a New Anesthesiology Ether Screen From Emory University Hospital

During surgery, anesthesiologists typically sit behind the “ether screen” (aka “blood-brain barrier,” where the blood is the surgeon and the brain is an anesthesiologist). The screen is typically made from elevated drapes connected to IV poles. This setup is often awkward, not stable, and potentially dangerous to the patient. Now a new device created by Jerry Lewis, facilities director at Emory University Hospital, helps attach the screen so it moves along with the bed, provides support for equipment, and has clear access to the patient.
