Restrictive fluid practices are becoming more common but may not lead to better patient outcomes. https://lnkd.in/eEwVZJHM Overly restrictive fluid practices can lead to hypotension and decreased organ perfusion. IOH can lead to AKI, sepsis, MI and cerebral complications. Personalizing fluid management based on stroke volume has been shown to lead to improved outcomes. #hemodynamics #hypotension #anesthesiology #patientsafety #fluidmanagement

Studies have shown a wide variability in IV fluid use, with patients potentially receiving up to four times more fluid from one clinician compared to another. This inconsistency can lead to unnecessary fluid use and complications. VitalStream can be a valuable tool in helping hospitals optimize their IV fluid usage and reduce waste. By providing real-time data on fluid administration, VitalStream can help clinicians make more informed decisions and ensure that patients receive the appropriate amount of fluid. #IVFluidShortage #PatientSafety #Hemodynamics #Anesthesiology

VitalStream? is the world’s only FDA-cleared wireless, wearable continuous cardiac output (CCO) and blood pressure monitor (NIBP). It merges intuitive, user-friendly technology, with the clinical accuracy you need from an acute-care hemodynamic monitor.

Dr. Zain Khalpey, cardiothoracic surgeon at Honor Health, discusses how he uses VitalStream in his clinic. Learn more about VitalStream at: https://lnkd.in/e38FgAfx #cardiology #hemodynamics

The risk and damage of hypotension extends beyond the OR. Postoperative hypotension on the ward is common, but often undetected due to spot checks This can lead to negative patient outcomes such as AKI and hospital readmission. Noninvasive, continuous hemodynamic monitoring can aid in detection of hypotension and prompt early intervention. https://lnkd.in/e38FgAfx #hypotension #patientsafety #hemodynamics

VA hospitals now have access to VitalStream on the Federal Supply Schedule. VitalStream can expand advanced monitoring capabilities to more patients and can lead to earlier detection of clinical decompensation, promote root-cause identification and enable personalized treatment – all which can lead to better patient outcomes. “The use of VitalStream can benefit veterans in the emergency room, OR, catheterization lab, ICU and the floor by offering more comprehensive monitoring capabilities and a continuity of monitor, described Tim Fazekas, a Marine Corps veteran with extensive experience in field and hospital critical care, and clinical affairs specialist for Red One Medical. “It’s really the best non-invasive monitor available that a patient can wear.” https://lnkd.in/emxAZAr2 #VeteransDay #PatientSafety #Veterans #Hemodynamics #Anesthesiology

IV fluids are essential for patient care. With the national IV fluid shortage, its essential to ensure each drop is making a difference in outcomes. Overprescribing fluids is common and studies consistently show that patients receive unnecessary fluid resuscitation. By empirically assessing a patient's need for fluids, you can conserve resources. VitalStream allows clinicians to make data-driven decisions regarding fluid administration. Clinicians are able to assess a patient's fluid responsiveness and readily differentiate between patients who will and will not benefit from a fluid bolus. #IVFluid #ICFluidShortage #PatientSafety #Hemodynamics #Anesthesiology

A retrospective analysis of noncardiac surgery patients with postoperative hypotension, but no evidence of IOH, showed an association between POH and the risk of 30-day readmission. In fact, a MAP below 55 increased the risk of 30-day readmission by 24%. https://lnkd.in/ewqz89dw Continuous noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring can be used for early detection of hypotension throughout the entire perioperative continuum to drive better outcomes and reduce costs. #hypotension #hemodynamics #patientsafety

We sat down with Zain Khalpey, M.D. Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Director of Artificial Heart, MCS & ECMO, and Chief Medical AI Officer (Network Director) at Honor Health in Arizona, to discuss how he uses the VitalStream noninvasive hemodynamic monitor to deliver safer and more effective care for his patients.

VitalStream’s fluid challenge timer automatically calculates delta stroke volume. This provides quick insight into the left ventricle’s ability to increase stroke volume in response to a fluid bolus or passive leg raise. https://lnkd.in/gvHG5we #IVFluidShortage #IVFluid #Hemodynamics #Anesthesiology #Hypotension
