supporting haemodynamic stability

  • DEPTH OF ANAESTHESIA

     

    The entropy group showed 40% less1 hyper-⁄hypotension, tachycardia, bradycardia and somatic responses compared to the standard group15

     

    Entropy-guided anaesthesia is associated with significantly less frequent need of antihypertensive drugs2

  • ANALGESIA ASSESSMENT

     

    85% less unwanted events—SPI monitoring results in more stable haemodynamic 3

     

    High levels of SPI seem to be related with an increased risk of patient movements4

     

    SPI may help predict postoperative pain5,6

  • AUTOMATED ANAESTHESIA DELIVERY

     

    EtC helps achieve a quicker and more precise depth of anaesthesia level avoiding over- and under- dosage of agent7

     

    To reach a pre-established EtAA value manual interventions are flattened7

  • PHYSIOLOGICAL IMAGING

     

    Up to 82% of time savings with the Venue Auto VTI tool compared to manual methods8

     

    In hemorrhagic shock model, the Venue Auto VTI tool was found to be better correlated with CO measured by thermodilution than manual echocardiographic measurements8

minimizing pulmonary complications and respiratory compromise

  • DEPTH OF NEUROMUSCOLAR BLOCK

     

    EMG technology decreased the rate of reintubations per year9

     

    EMG offers a better compromise for detecting rocuronium onset and intubating condition in children10

     

    EMG is considered the gold standard for measuring residual paralysis11,12

  • LUNG PROTECTIVE VENTILATION

     

    Proper ventilation during anaesthesia can help reduce postoperative lung complications and avoid additional days in the ICU13

  • PHYSIOLOGICAL IMAGING

     

    Ultrasound Auto-B Line tool delivers diagnostic support for atelectasis, pulmonary effusions, pulmonary edema, and/or pneumonia, providing the overall lung score in one single step14

  • DIGITAL SOLUTION

     

    Combining ventilator data with lung protective guidelines, individualized targets, and real-time notifications help clinicians to increase adherence to protocols

    Analytics provide a consistent overview of overall adherence to lung protective strategy and targets for improvement 13

Comprehensive range of patient monitoring, therapy delivery and digital solutions to better analyse individual’s response to anaesthesia and surgical outcomes
