High Risk Patients

Nearly 30% of post-operative patients and up to 7% of all Medicare patients will suffer from respiratory compromise.^1,2 Evidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a contributing factor in 40% of respiratory depression claims.³

The Respiration Rate^* parameter, when used with SpO₂, the Nellcor™ Saturation Pattern Detection (SPD) Alert, and Nellcor™ SatSeconds Alarm Management technology, provides a complete assessment of a patient’s oxygenation and respiration. This comprehensive at-a-glance view of a patient’s respiratory status and use of a single sensor allow clinicians to better manage their time and workflow, while supporting the clinicians’ commitment to better patient care and faster recovery.
