M1012A PiCCO: A Solution for Hemodynamic Monitoring
The M1012A PiCCO by Philips combines arterial pressure waveform analysis with transpulmonary thermodilution to provide accurate, real-time assessment of cardiac function. With this technology, clinicians can obtain crucial hemodynamic information about their patients, enabling optimal management of circulatory volumes and the cardiovascular system.
The PiCCO uses an arterial catheter placed in the femoral or axillary artery, along with a central venous catheter, to measure various hemodynamic parameters. These measurements include continuous cardiac output, arterial blood pressure, heart rate, stroke volume, and more. PiCCO's patented algorithms allow for precise and reliable analysis of these parameters, providing clinicians with reliable data for informed therapeutic decisions.
One of the major advantages of PiCCO is its ability to deliver measurements independent of ventilator and respiratory cycles, ensuring consistent and reproducible results. This feature is particularly beneficial for intensive care patients or those with respiratory conditions such as pulmonary edema or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
The PiCCO system is compatible with various Philips patient monitors, including IntelliVue, CMS 2002, and V24/V26 models. This compatibility allows for easy integration into existing hospital environments, facilitating access to real-time hemodynamic data. Additionally, PiCCO is less invasive than traditional cardiac monitoring methods, requiring only the insertion of a thermodilution catheter into the femoral or axillary artery.
The M1012A PiCCO by Philips is a valuable tool for clinicians seeking to optimize the hemodynamic management of their patients. With its advanced technology, reliability, and compatibility with existing systems, PiCCO offers a comprehensive solution for continuous cardiac function monitoring.
