"NEVER MISS A BREATH" WITH MINUTE VENTILATION MONITORING
FOR NON-INTUBATED PATIENTS
EARLY AND ACCURATE
Changes in minute ventilation often precede life threatening hyperventilation, hypoventilation or apnea. Early detection enables early intervention, reducing risk for bad patient outcomes. With 100 times fewer false alarms, ExSpiron also reduces the work of monitoring patients and the stress of alarm fatigue.
CONFIDENT DECISIONS
Quantifies overarching respiratory status to help providers decide when to admit or discharge. Allows better titration of sedation or anesthesia. Allows easy monitoring of recovering patients, even on lightly staffed general care floors.
EVIDENCE BASED
Multiple peer reviewed publications show the clinical and economic advantage. Fulfills guideline requirements to monitor ventilation during anesthesia and sedation. Successfully deployed in the PACU, ICU, Emergency Department, procedure rooms and free-standing surgical centers.
Clinical Applications
EMERGENCY DEPT.
Minute ventilation provides early warning of respiratory decline so it can help you decide when and where to admit. Simple monitoring of overarching respiratory status makes it easier and safer to board patients waiting for admission or monitor in observation units.
PROCEDURAL SEDATION
Confidence for tighter titration of sedation and therefore shorter procedure times. Extra safety for post-procedure monitoring of at-risk pulmonary and OSA patients.
INTENSIVE CARE
Confident assessment of need for reintubation can reduce ventilator time. Can help assessment of readiness to discharge to a lower acuity unit.
POST-ANESTHESIA CARE
Confidently release patients faster, even difficult to assess OSA patients. Minimize the false alarms that create alarm fatigue and unnecessary consults.
GENERAL CARE FLOOR
Helps busy nurses easily and accurately monitor overarching respiratory status and gives early warning of patients heading for a sudden decline that requires intervention.
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Early warning of adverse reaction such as respiratory depression due to narcotic pain therapy. Extra safety for patients on self-dosing pain control on low acuity floors.
