What could real-time visibility into regional ventilation mean for your patients? 

Unique aspects of the neonatal respiratory system, like small airways, compliant chest walls, and small lung volumes, make ventilation management particularly challenging. The Sentec LuMon™ EIT system gives NICU teams access to continuous, real-time visibility of changes in regional air distribution at the patient bedside, helping support more informed care.

With EIT, NICU teams can:

  • Assess the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions and tailor them to each patient
  • Monitor physiological changes during weaning and extubation
  • Optimize lung recruitment while minimizing overdistension

  • Intervene proactively to reduce ventilation-related complications 

  • How etCO2 is ill-suited for many patients in the PICU population, due to its incompatibility and inconsistency with noninvasive and specialty ventilation strategies

The Sentec LuMon™ EIT System

A sophisticated algorithm translates the impedance measurements into real-time images and measures of air distribution within the chest, displayed in an easy-to-understand interface.

  • Customizable display allows configurations for tailored monitoring
  • Skin-safe, non-adhesive belts in sizes that can accommodate diverse patient groups
  • Preterm infant belt sizes fit neonates with chest circumferences as small as 16.5 cm
  • Integrates with other bedside devices, including ventilators, to provide a more complete clinical picture
