ICU Teams

Explore continuous hemodynamic monitoring solutions for your critically ill patients.

ICU Patients Image

The Critical Care product group is now part of BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company). Edwards Lifesciences is the manufacturer of the products.

Stay ahead of critical moments

In the ICU, you're at the patients bedside in their most vulnerable moments.  For the rapidly changing and complex nature of the critically-ill patients, continuous information helps guide clinicians through the continuum of care. Advanced hemodynamic monitoring can aid you in the treatment of patients by providing actionable insights during the course of critical illness.

Shock management

Shock is common. 1/3 of ICU patients suffer some form of shock as Sakr, et all reported in 2006.1 Advanced hemodynamic measurements, like those provided by Acumen IQ sensor or Swan-Ganz catheter working with an advanced monitoring platform, can provide clinical insight into a patient’s cardiovascular function to guide decision- making.

Acumen IQ sensor

Acumen IQ sensor unlocks Acumen HPI software and connects to any existing arterial line* to provide continuous blood pressure and advanced hemodynamic parameters. Acumen HPI software is the first-of-its-kind technology that detects hemodynamic instability and offers insight into potential targets for intervention.

CO/CI | SV/SVI | SVV | PPV†| SVR/SVRI | Eadyn | dP/dt | SYS/DIA/MAP | HPI

Discover Acumen IQ sensor

*When using with Acumen HPI software, Acumen IQ sensor must be connected to a radial arterial line.
†PPV may not be available on earlier versions of HemoSphere monitor.

Perfusion management

Advanced hemodynamic monitoring provides access to continuous pressure and flow parameters, giving you valuable insight into the adequacy of perfusion. Dynamic parameters can help identify the most appropriate therapy, such as helping to decide between volume administration or the administration of vasopressors or inotropes.

COVID-19 support

covid-19 support

Patients who require hospitalization for COVID-19 are at an increased risk of developing conditions such as sepsis, acute kidney injury (AKI), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).2 Clinicians around the world are in constant discussions on how best to care for, treat, and manage patients with COVID-19 and the resulting sepsis, septic shock, and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Learn about the monitoring solutions that help clinicians in managing ideal oxygenation and maintaining appropriate fluid balance to minimize severe life-threatening complications.

Tissue oximetry

Tissue oxygen (StO2) desaturation events are not uncommon in the cardiac and surgical ICU's. For the most critically ill patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), tissue oximetry monitoring may help allow early identification of cerebral desaturations and limb ischemia.3,4

ForeSight tissue oximetry sensor

ForeSight tissue oximetry sensor

ForeSight sensor delivers absolute StO2 values that – when used in combination with the full hemodynamic insights delivered by HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform – enable you to confidently recognize and address cerebral desaturations and limb ischemia.

Pressure monitoring and blood conservation

You can make a difference in your patients’ outcomes by incorporating evidence-based closed blood sampling (CBS) procedures into your hospital’s patient blood management program. CBS is demonstrated to more effectively conserve blood, improve patient outcomes and reduce costs when compared with conventional blood sampling procedures.5-8
