Applications of Critical Health Care
Critical Care Nursing is an area of expertise within nursing that focus specifically with human responses to life- threatening problems.
Critical Care Nurses rely upon a dedicated knowledge, skills and experience and of course automated system of support and intelligent system to provide care to patient and families and create environments that are healing, compassionate and caring.
ECMO Machine
In extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), blood is pumped outside of your body to a heart-lung machine that removes carbon dioxide and sends oxygen-filled blood back to tissues in the body.
ECMO is a complex treatment that requires diligent nursing care. Critical care nurses with the knowledge and ability to identify complications of ECMO can potentially reduce morbidity and mortality in these high-acuity patients.
Philipps Patient Monitor
Provides access to actionable patient information and connect teams across care settings. They can facilitate early diagnosis, accelerate care delivery and prompt intervention. Advanced clinical decision support tools and smart alarms work together to identify and alert caregivers to critical events at the earliest possible stage. This integrated system captures a steady stream of patient data from monitors and medical devices, feeding it securely to your emergency medical record (EMR). Our process allows for virtually gap-free patient records from admission to discharge, even during transport.
IntelliVue and SureSigns patient monitors perform in a range of environments. From diverse patient acuity levels to demanding clinical requirements, these systems support flexible care with portable, compact and specialized models.
Optima IGS 320
Designed for Cardiac and Electrophysiology procedures.
It is based on proven technology and very efficient imaging chain, providing superior image quality at lowest possible dose. It includes features like Dose Personalization, which gives you the tools to choose from up to four automatic exposure preferences for your system. You can also modify any of these preferences in any clinical protocol to enable multi-procedure, multi-user customization and thus support well-informed decisions.
Hemodynamic Monitor
Heme means blood, and dynamic means flow. It measures blood flow, pressure, and oxygenation within the cardiovascular system. Hemodynamic monitoring is required, particularly in critically ill patients. The purpose of hemodynamic monitoring is to ensure there is optimal tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery while maintaining an adequate mean arterial pressure.
It is incumbent on the critical care practitioner not only to be familiar with the commonly used modalities of hemodynamic monitoring but also to understand the physical principles underlying the monitoring equipment, allowing competent interpretation of hemodynamic data for use in clinical practice, identification of artefacts and effective troubleshooting of equipment.
Automated External Defibrillator
Is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electricity which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.
Scientific advances in the past few decades have resulted in the development of complex devices capable of treating both brady-dysrhythmias and tachydysrhythmias. Because critical care nurses play a vital role in the safe and effective functioning of these devices, they must understand the operation of the devices and patients' physiological and psychosocial responses to the technology. Careful monitoring, open and caring communication, and relevant patient education will make the important difference in patients' adjustment to use of an antidysrhythmic device
