Moreover, Chile\u2019s 362\nhospitals increased their counts of both basic equipment and high-ticket\nspecialized equipment, which suggests diverse targeting potential for companies.\nHere\u2019s a look at the areas that expanded the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic Breakdown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Chile did not suffer as strongly\nfrom the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, its increases in basic\nequipment shows that the crisis still impacted its healthcare systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Patient monitoring\nsystems: 52.3% increase <\/li><li>Infusion pumps: 47.7%\nincrease <\/li><li>Anesthesia machines: 9.2%\nincrease <\/li><li>Ventilators: 4.1%\nincrease&nbsp; <\/li><li>EKG machines: 6.8%\nincrease&nbsp; <\/li><li>X-ray machines: 1.9%\nincrease <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these jumps, Chilean hospitals\ndidn\u2019t increase their levels of all forms of basic equipment: for example,\ncounts of ultrasound machines went down by 2.1% in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Special Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Several specialized equipment types saw\nsurges in Chilean hospitals in 2020, while others contracted sharply.
