Cardiovascular has now launched an enhanced version of the device; which allows anesthetists to measure peri-operative fluid volume using non-invasive pulse pressure variation. APC Cardiovascular Enhanced CNAP monitor monitors peri-operative fluid levels using non-invasive pulse pressure variation Following the successful launch of the CNAP Monitor 500i earlier this year, APC Cardiovascular has now launched an enhanced version of the device; which allows anesthetists to measure peri-operative fluid volume using non-invasive pulse pressure variation. Studies show that managing goal directed peri-operative fluid can help patients recover quicker and also reduce their length of stay in hospital; benefits that both save lives and potentially lead to a significant saving in healthcare costs. Accurate predictors of responsiveness to fluid administration are therefore needed in the operating theatre, especially since haemodynamic parameters obtained through standard pulmonary artery catheterization Pulmonary Artery Catheterization Definition Pulmonary artery catheterization is a diagnostic procedure in which a small catheter is inserted through a neck, arm, chest, or thigh vein and maneuvered into the right side of the heart, in order to measure (PAC) for preload preload /pre·load/ (pre´lod) the mechanical state of the heart at the end of diastole, the magnitude of the maximal (end-diastolic) ventricular volume or the end-diastolic pressure stretching the ventricles. and volume status assessment are becoming increasingly questioned. Providing a unique solution, the new and improved CNAP monitor provides anesthetists with a greater scope of action through evidence based fluid data; helping them measure responsiveness to volume administrations.

It may result from reduced blood volume (e.g., from heavy bleeding or plasma loss after severe burns) or increased blood-vessel capacity (e.g., in syncope). can be effectively counteracted by volume administration; improving the level of care being offered to the patient. The CNAP Monitor is a continuous blood pressure monitoring system, designed to help the management of peri-operative hypotension; one of the most common complications to occur during surgery which can lead to increases in post operative mortality operative mortality The percentage of Pts who die while hospitalized during or after a surgical procedure . Currently it is the only device, which allows anaesthetists to take complete control over blood pressure non-invasively and since it was launched it has rapidly gained credibility from anaesthetists across the country. Speaking about the new enhanced CNAP Monitor, Managing Director of APC Cardiovascular, Derrick Ebden, said: "The non-invasive assessment of fluid responsiveness makes the CNAP 500 monitor a unique device. In combination with the continuous blood pressure monitoring and its ease of use it can enhance the working practice of the physician and ensures quality patient care. "Over the last year we have been keen to improve the technology and have liaised closely with the medical profession to see how it could be improved to meet the needs of anaesthetists. We are delighted with the results and are looking forward to unveiling the enhanced CNAP device at the AAGBIs conference in London next month." 2009 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com) 2008 Al Bawaba (Albawaba.com) Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company |
