Overview
Our patient monitoring solutions provide the only integrated, complete picture of a patient’s oxygenation and ventilation status.
CAPNOGRAPHY SOLUTION
No matter how many (or few) clinicians may be on the floor, hospital staff must strive to minimize events that can lead to longer hospital stays or transfers to the ICU. In every circumstance, clinicians must act quickly, safety, effectively and efficiently to meet the needs of a wide variety of patients, including those who are receiving opioids for pain management. To do so, accurate and reliable patient monitoring is essential.
Medtronic provides bedside and handheld capnography monitors along with a complete portfolio of single-use sampling lines.
From neonate to adult, for intubated and non-intubated patients, Microstream™ capnography monitors are responsive and accurate, and provide continuous data for each patient’s oxygenation and ventilation status. To explain how to correctly apply and interpret the capnograhpy waveform results in a meaningful manner, G. Farquharson and G. K. Spratt recently published 'Algorithms for Interpreting Capnography'.
CAPNOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGY
Microstream™-enabled technology is used worldwide to help clinicians monitor patients’ end-tidal CO2 (etCO2) and alert them early to indications of evolving respiratory compromise.
The Capnostream™ 20p patient monitor with Microstream™ includes Smart Alarm Management™ Integrated Algorithms, a suite of algorithms proven to reduce alarms and simplify the use of patient monitoring to enhance patient safety and improve clinical efficiency.
