 Cerebral and somatic oxygen data is a powerful combination, giving you a higher level of confidence and control in customizing patient care - perfect for preparing your pediatric patient for surgery. Studies show that the INVOS® System can be useful in stabilizing and optimizing patients prior to surgery, customizing their treatment and counseling their families.
- It's a foundation for treatment. Setting an initial rSO2 baseline provides incremental data on how critical the patient is. Now, individually tailoring interventions for hemodynamic control is possible.
- It's knowledge for pre-surgical stabilization. rSO2 serves as a vital sign to help determine the patient's ability to successfully survive the surgery. Studies have shown that a low preop value is a strong predictor of perioperative complications and death1. Interventions taken based on low rSO2 values can help optimize perfusion to vascular beds, thus making them as strong and fine tuned as possible prior to surgery. This has proven useful in a number of scenarios, including the stabilization of newborns with prostaglandin-dependent single ventricle physiology, and hypoplastic left heart syndrome.2
- It's a basis for family counseling. The INVOS® System's incremental data allows the care team to share with families more specific details regarding care and expectations before, during and after their child's surgery.
