LADOT is a true story of how a small group of dedicated employees were able to bring an exciting new technology to the anesthesiologists providing them with capabilities they had only dreamed of. The monitoring system they developed not only added a measure of safety for the surgical patient it also served to reduce expenses by providing more accurate measurement of the expensive anesthesia gases used and helped to contain the cost of liability insurance for the average anesthesiologist.
In this book you will have an inside view how this technology was born and how this small group was able to successfully manufacture and market it in the face of many difficult hurdles.
Even though the technology as developed had a short life its legacy lives on in the products that were developed later to compete with it. If not for the medical mass spectrometer the devices that followed might not have existed.
