Clinician time and resources are limited, but a patient’s needs are not. Microstream™-enabled capnography monitoring provides an early warning of respiratory compromise,([FOOTNOTE=Maddox RR, Oglesby H, Williams CK, Fields M, Danello S., Continuous respiratory monitoring and a “smart” infusion system improve safety of patient-controlled analgesia in the postoperative period. http://www.ahrq.gov/downloads/pub/advances2/vol4/Advances-Maddox_111.pdf],[ANCHOR=View Abstract],[LINK=/content/covidien/websites/medtronic/com/en/covidien/support/clinical-evidence.html?id=573542]) offering clinicians the opportunity to provide care sooner and quickly determine how to intervene, reducing risk and saving time, money, and lives.
See how continuous remote monitoring can help improve patient and clinician safety.
The Vital Sync™ system is a simplified and remotely deployable solution that can help you monitor your patients’ respiratory status, no matter where they are.
Capnography monitoring can involve challenges such as managing nuisance alarms and optimizing clinical workflow to ensure patient safety. This blog post gives you tools and strategies to overcome common problems and get the most from capnography (etCO2) monitoring.
The Capnostream™ 20p patient monitor with Microstream™-enabled technology includes Smart Alarm Management™ Integrated Algorithms([FOOTNOTE=ECRI Institute.
