The Future of Haemodynamics - the 1A from Uscom
The Fluid Solution - Appropriate fluid balance and SV resuscitation improves patient outcomes, while inadequate or excess fluid increase morbidity and mortality. This is the "fluid dilemma" - when to start and when to stop. The Uscom 1A personalised SV optimisation strategy reliably identifies fluid responsiveness. The Uscom 1A works in patients with cardiac arrhythmias, high and low CO's, those on vasoactives, those on ventilation or free breathing, those with sepsis and in children.
Sepsis - Sepsis is a medical emergency and is characterised by complex and deranged circulation which may lead to circulatory failure and death. Early identification of haemodynamic changes and informed intervention with fluid, inotropes and vasoactive therapies is crucial to limit shock, organ failure and improve outcomes.
Saving Lives and Reducing Cost - The Uscom 1A Doppler ultrasound monitor is saving lives worldwide by improving our understanding of the circulation. While patients benefit from improved clinical care, hospital budgets benefit from the absence of costly disposables and shorter lengths of stay.
Hypertension - Accurate measurement of Cardiac Output (CO) and Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR) is essential to the effective treatment of hypertension, heart failure and pre-eclampsia. The Uscom 1A provides rapid, accurate and non-invasive measures of these values and is changing the way we treat hypertension.
Advanced Doppler Monitoring - the Uscom 1A accurately, sensitively and directly measures stroke volume (SV) or "flow at the valve". The device is safe and non-invasive, with innovative features that simplify operation. The Uscom 1A has a short learning curve with excellent inter and intra-operator reproducibility for use in neonates, children and adults.
Advanced Haemodynamic Parameters - Stroke Volume (SV), Stroke Volume Index (SVI), Stroke Volume Variation (SVV), Flow Time Corrected (FTc), Cardiac Output (CO), Cardiac Index (CI), Heart Rate (HR), Smith Madigan Inotropy Index (SMII), Cardiac Power (CPO), Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR), Systemic Vascular Resistance Index (SVRI), Oxygen Delivery (DO2).
