Intensive Care On the Go.


The third-generation Lstat (Life Support for Trauma and Transport) system, model 9602, from Integrated Medical Systems (IMS) is an individualised portable intensive care systems and surgical platform providing an integrated resuscitation and stabilisation capability through an integrated suite of state-of-the-art medical devices. The system was designed to help decrease the instances of mortality, morbidity and disability that can be caused when transporting a trauma patient. The Lstat system features a ventilator, suction, an integral oxygen system, an infusion pump, a physiological monitor, a clinical blood analyser and a defibrillator. These medical devices are complemented with a fully network-capable onboard computer monitoring system and a stand-alone power system all packaged together in a Nato-standard litter form. The system arrived in Kosovo in late April of this year, was recently deployed to Alaska with the US Air Force and in June 2001 received the Medical Design Excellence Award, which recognises accomplishments in product innovation, design and engineering excellence, end-user benefit and cost-effectiveness in manufacturing and healthcare delivery. More detailed information may be obtained from the IMS website, at: www.lstat.com.
