USCOM 1A Benefits

USCOM is a specialised ultrasound device designed for non invasive, high fidelity measurement of cardiovascular function. These measurements can be used to assess and manage hemodynamics. USCOM is a safe, rapid, accurate and cost effective method for managing circulation. USCOM takes advanced hemodynamics beyond the ICU.

USCOM provides the following benefits to you, and your patients

• Non invasive and safe
• All ages and all outputs - neonates to geriatrics from 0.12l/min to 18.5l/min
• Most accurate clinical method of monitoring hemodynamics
• Right and left sided Cardiac Output
• Easy to use - Physician, nurse, paramedic or patient operated
• Advanced hemodynamics in or beyond the ICU
• Real time Stroke Volume resuscitation
• Improves management - objective Early Goal Directed Therapy
• Reduces time and cost
• Many clinical uses - anywhere you’d take a blood pressure
• Simple and quick to set up
• Portable
• No consumables - cost effective

USCOM has many applications

• Pediatrics
• Emergency medicine - ED and remote (transport, military and field)
• ICU - general, surgical and post cardiac
• Anesthesia
• Electrophysiology
• Hypertension/Eclampsia
• Heart failure
• Dialysis
• Sports medicine
• Veterinary medicine
• Pharmacology research
• Animal research

USCOM uses specialised Doppler Ultrasound for measuring and monitoring hemodynamics. It provides non invasive, accurate, real time, beat to beat, quantitative measures of cardiovascular function.

USCOM can

• Confirm normal circulation such as during anaesthesia
• Rapidly detects cardiovascular dysfunction
• Simply guides optimisation of circulation - Optimise Oxygen Delivery
• Optimisation of fluid management - when to start, and when to stop
• Rational drug administration (inotropes, vaso-actives) - right drug, right dose
• All patients and all outputs - 26wks gestational age to 85yrs and 0.12l/min and 18.5l/min
• Can be operated by physicians, nurses or paramedics
  

Uscom features include

• 20 parameters of cardiovascular function
• Right and left side Cardiac Ouput
• Real time, beat to beat Cardiac Output and Oxygen Delivery
• Real time preload, inotropy, afterload values
• Indexed tables
• Simplified data interpretation
• Instant bedside information
• Research facilities including simple export of all data
