Improve pulmonary outcomes

Individualized support of pulmonary outcomes by the use of programmable automatic lateral therapy and electrical impedance tomography.

Challenges

  • Mechanical ventilation complications
  • Lung overdistension, barotrauma, lung collapse, and blood desaturation
  • Significant costs to health care system

INVASIVE MECHANICAL VENTILATION (IMV) IN THE USA

IMV represents a high and mortality group of patients that are associated with significant costs to the healthcare system.

3,109cases

per 100.000 adults received IMV in 2009 (1)

600-1,500USD

hospital cost increment by one IMV day (2)

2,093USD

cost saving per patient after implementation of CLRT (3)

Solution

Programmable Automatic Lateral Therapy

Synergy between the two complementing technologies (ALT & EIT) create a closed loop system which allows immediate feedback on the effect that interventions have on the patient and precise treatment to be delivered.

AUTOMATIC LATERAL THERAPY WITH ELECTRIC IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY

  • AUTOMATIC LATERAL THERAPY (ALT)
    Lateral tilt with adequate PEEP can control ventilation distribution and trigger lung opening.
  • ELECTRIC IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY (EIT) Provides real-time visualization of patients' mechanical ventilation.
  • ALT GUIDED BY EIT
    • Individualized
    • Timely
    • Continuous
    • Targeted
    • Careful
    • Radiation-free
