Dräger setting the standard for transport monitoring Specific incidence of adverse effects associated to a clinical decline* during intra-hospital transport (IHT) ranges from 17% to 33%.(1) Recommendations call for the development of adapted equipment and the widespread use of check-lists and proper training programs to increase the safety of IHT and reduce the risks in the long term.1 The equipment must be adapted for transport purposes and facilitate a continuum of care and monitoring during IHT. *characterized by hypotension, arrhythmia, hypoxia due to ventilator desynchronization or otherwise, and an increase in intracranial hypertension Dräger patient monitoring is already on it. With Pick and Go® technology you won't miss a clinical problem during IHT, you won't be burdened by changing settings and configurations after transfer from one care area to another, and you just need to learn one system. Your goals are our goals: reduce patient risk during transport, reduce stress and enhance workflow for clinical staff, prevent errors, and avoid data loss. Reducing patient risk & saving time Continuous monitoring improves patient safety “With Dräger’s Infinity® solution, ease of use prevents errors and time savings benefit the patient. Our monitoring process now fits our treatment process.” – Chief Physician, Anesthesiology, University Hospital in Switzerland (2) Faster reaction to changing patient physiological status.(3) “If something were to happen in transport, you can easily check the data afterward when you have reconnected the patient to the central station. It is also very easy to check data on the monitor, so that has improved things a great deal. It has actually been lifesaving in some cases.” – CCU Nurse (3) Time savings reduce stress for clinical staff and free up time for more meaningful patient care “Now, with our new Dräger monitoring solution, we have been able to reduce the average time for monitoring de- and reconnection by 52%. We have also reduced time without any patient monitoring to 0.” – Chief Physician, Anesthesiology, University Hospital in Switzerland (2) Average accumulated total time without any monitoring is at average (in seconds)(2) Average accumulated total time per patient for disconnection and 0 768 reconnection reduced by with Pick without Pick 52% and Go® and Go® Uninterrupted surveillance on transport and 96 hours trends data backfilled to cockpit with Pick & Go Technology – no gaps! Workflow & process improvement Patients keep same monitor throughout stay No need to waste time looking for and transferring patient to a transport monitor. Single monitor for bedside and transport delivers continuous surveillance with all core parameters and a complete patient record. Improves efficiency Pick and Go technology eliminates need to disconnect and reconnect cables each time. The monitor automatically adopts a new monitoring profile customized for each new care area. This streamlines clinical workflow and helps increase patient safety by providing continuous monitoring and data collection. Core parameters built into every monitor. No parameters left behind! “Patients on a single ward may have different acuity levels. We need to meet the needs of all patients wherever they are. This includes allowing telemetry patients to move freely – within limits – to increase mobility.” – Nurse Manager (3) Improved Infinity M300 supports workflow patient mobility while “We no longer have to continuously clean the monitor and displaying patient vital cables between each signs and waveforms. patient because we take a new monitor with us from the recovery unit that has already been cleaned – which saves us two to three minutes per patient. On average, I have about four Up to 255 minutes saved anesthesia patients per day and the entire = over 4 hours! hospital has 85 surgeries per day.” – CCU Nurse (3) Standardization One Monitor Clinical staff and biomeds learn Any patient type, any acuity one system level, any care unit, any location “Common hospital monitoring – where Help reduce risk of errors everybody has the same system – makes it much easier for us. If personnel have “A system-wide worked with the monitoring equipment in improvement in quality of one department, they can work virtually care is achieved through anywhere because they are familiar with automation of processes the system. It’s also easier for the and reduction of the biomedical engineering department number of opportunities when we need new accessories, since for human error.” it’s all the same equipment.” – West Health Institute (4) – CCU Nurse (3) Quick dock and undock reduces preparation time for transport, plus intelligent docking stations that detect and adapt to care unit settings, making moving from one department to the next seamless for you. Interoperability M540 or IACS: vital sign data locally monitored in real time by a clinician during transport and at the Infinity CentralStation. Patient arrives at new care area: M540 or IACS monitor automatically Device switches from configures itself to new wired to Wi-Fi easily as it area’s parameters, is moved throughout settings, and alarms. No hospital. Connection to user interaction, no need Infinity Acute Care hospital's wired and to return monitor to System (IACS) wireless networks allow previous care area. for continuous monitoring. Electronic Medical Records (EMR) auto documentation and provided remote viewing allow doctors to monitor patients anywhere in the hospital and from remote locations. “I use Patient Watch to monitor patients during surgery in the theaters where you don’t want people entering the room. Then it’s excellent to be able to look after the patient from any computer whatsoever. The advantage of Patient Watch in wards is that you can monitor up to four patients at the same time on one screen.” Anesthesiologist (3) Overall economic benefits of interoperability based on American hospital calculations for one year (4) $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $2 billion $3 billion $12 billion $18 billion Quality improvements Reduced cost of care Increased clinician Increased capacity for through reduction of secondary to avoidance productivity secondary treatment secondary adverse events of redundant testing to decreased time to shortening length spent manually of stay entering information We meet your requirements Increase quality of care Simplify whole process Continuous monitoring Standardization Strengthen inner clinical transport workflow Open for future data management systems Visit Draeger.com to learn more Sources: (1) Fanara et al., Recommendations for the intra-hospital transport of critically ill patients Critical Care 2010, 14:R87 (2) Dräger sponsored study at University Hospital in Zurich.
