Hemodynamic instability is the second most common cause of ICU readmissions, accounting for 31% of cases. These patients also face significantly higher hospital mortality rates. To address this, a new wireless, non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring system is helping to reduce complications and shorten ICU stays.
The VitalStream system from Caretaker Medical uses AI algorithms and a patented pulse decomposition analysis (PDA) to continuously track over 20 vital signs, including blood pressure, cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistance. Its innovative finger sensor, comfortable for conscious patients, allows for fast calibration in just 90 seconds, offering seamless wireless monitoring.
As the only FDA-approved wireless portable monitor that provides continuous cardiac output (CCO) and non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), VitalStream combines clinical accuracy with ease of use. The system provides vital insights in real time, empowering physicians to make precise adjustments to fluid management and medication. The data is displayed on a tablet via the Caretaker app, simplifying the user experience.
Validated in high-risk patient populations, VitalStream offers a critical advancement in ICU care, enhancing patient safety without invasive procedures.
