Children are not small adults. Their organs, physiology and hemodynamics operate under different controls and to different norms. So, how do you ensure that your smaller patients have a healthy balance of oxygen in their brains and bodies?

NIRS FLASH!

    "Maintaining oxygen transport balance is a challenge to all clinicians who care for critically ill children. There is an opportunity for improved outcomes with the use of NIRS in adjunct to traditional monitoring. "
Operating rooms, pediatric intensive care units, cardiac catherization labs, and pediatric critical care teams worldwide are integrating the INVOS® System throughout the entire patient care pathway to safeguard their patients' oxygenation health.

And four-channel INVOS® System monitoring is a powerful combination to do just that. It provides continuous noninvasive, real-time assessments of cerebral and peripheral circulations for added value in identifying low cardiac output1,2, shock1, renal failure3 and safe ECMO cannulation4. INVOS® System technology lets each patient serve as his/her own control, so you are empowered to make decisions tailored to each patient's unique physiology and morbidities for optimal care in both routine and catastrophic situations.

Give your critical care pediatric patients a better chance at a better outcome.
