Portable patient monitor SonarMed™

One unplanned extubation is one too many. Precise ETT airway monitoring for neonates didn’t exist – until now. Precious neonatal patients require precise endotracheal tube (ETT) monitoring. The SonarMed™ airway monitoring system is the only ETT airway monitor to provide real-time visualizations at the bedside for accurate, informed troubleshooting, which may save precious time and help reduce unplanned extubations. The SonarMed™ airway monitoring system’s easy-to-read screen displays status changes of the ETT and monitors the correction of the tube to the optimal baseline. The system also analyzes the amplitude of the echoes to estimate the position and integrity of the tube providing immediate audible alerts if movement or obstructions are detected. Help Reduce Unplanned Extubations During mechanical ventilation in the NICU, unplanned extubations are the most common adverse events impacting nearly 1 in 5 patients. Decrease Costs, Reduce LOS One study found that each unplanned extubation in pediatric patients leads to hospital costs of $36,692 and an increase of more than six days per case. Improve Quality Measures Use of SonarMed™ technology may also lower unplanned extubations when combined with other quality measures.
