A body of evidence that keeps on growing.
In health care, new technologies are constantly emerging with the goal of improving care. While many of their attributes are attractive, evaluating and making decisions about these technologies is difficult. That's why making an evidence-based decision is essential for you, your patients and your healthcare institution. While companies may claim supporting data, a closer look at their references sometimes reveals citations that don't even feature their particular device. Conversely, Somanetics is the clinical reference standard in cerebral/somatic oximetry with more than 600+ clinical references - specifically focused on its INVOS ® System. And an influx of scientific study findings continues, with new INVOS ® System clinical references being published at a rate of approximately 1.5 per week. The majority describe investigations conducted by your peers in surgery or critical care specialties, reporting numerous clinical and patient benefits gained from INVOS ® System oxygen monitoring.
- For adults, these include reductions in major organ morbidity or mortality1, stroke2, post-op cognitive difficulties3, respiratory failure/vent time2, adverse surgical events4 and coma5.
-
For children, infants and neonates, these include enhanced detection of oxygen threats associated with low cardiac output6, renal dysfunction8, neurologic damage9, shock10 and seizures11.
-
Additionally, INVOS® System monitoring often provides an earlier warning of changes in oxygenation or perfusion than today's traditional patient assessment measures such as mean arterial pressure, pulse oximetry, arterial blood gases and lactates 7,8,10.
We encourage you to spend some time here in our gallery of clinical evidence to learn how the INVOS® System is making a difference in improving adult, pediatric and infant/neonatal patient care.
