Optimizing Patient Outcomes Just Got Easier
The INVOS® System offers clinical benefits that are valuable before, during and after surgery. The ability to monitor for silent and potentially adverse ischemic issues can help enhance your patient outcomes and safety.
More than 600 clinical studies, papers and presentations have demonstrated that the INVOS® System reflects real-time, patient-specific oxygenation responses at each stage of surgery. These studies have documented:
- Improved outcomes by lowering stroke, renal failure, respiratory failure and other surgical complications
- The ability to bring complex patients more in line with "routine" ones, such as improving diabetic CABG patient outcomes to the level of their non-diabetic peers
- Administration or modification of a range of therapeutics based on patient responses to the surgery and to interventions
- Guidance of controlled hypotension and selective cerebral perfusion
- Determination of the need for and effects of blood transfusion
- Assessment of the impact of hemodilution
- Detection of flow obstructions and other trends toward ischemia
Cerebral Out-Flow Obstruction
