EXTRACOPOREAL BLOOD PURIFICATION SYSTEM:

CytoSorb is an extracorporeal blood purification therapy designed to reduce excessive levels of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, or “cytokine storm”, from blood. In doing so, the goal is to reduce the potentially deadly systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) seen in life-threatening inflammatory conditions. Use of the therapy may help to mitigate or even avoid deadly complications such as organ failure in this hyper-inflammatory response, helping to stabilize patients and reduce the severity of illness .

ACUMEN HYPOTENSION PROBABILITY INDICATOR SOFTWARE:

With increasing evidence of the risks associated with hypotension during surgery, the Acute Hypotension Probability Indicator Software (HPI) offers the ability to detect and respond to developing hypotension by recognizing trends and providing alerts before they impact your patients. Enabling you to react earlier and positively impact patient outcomes.

Part of the Acumen decision support software suite, HPI is compatible with the IQ family of hemodynamic solutions - including the FloTrac IQ sensor.

One physician commented :
“When troponin was a lousy assay it was a great test, but now that it’s becoming a great assay, it’s getting to be a lousy test.”
Nevertheless this publication clarifies a lot and is a good guide to use the hs -TnT in the clinical arena.
