Quality improvement projects are driving change in healthcare. This issue spotlights five impactful initiatives improving safety, efficiency, and care delivery.

Discover how Woman’s Hospital cut blood gas draws by 50% using transcutaneous CO₂ monitoring, standardized protocols, and staff-led care improvements.

The IPV Therapy Clinical Evidence Brochure offers an overview of key clinical studies that highlight the efficacy and safety of intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) therapy across diverse patient populations.

Patients in the NICU are among the most delicate residents in the hospital, yet studies have shown as many as 17 painful procedures being performed on neonates each day. Many painful procedures are related to blood draws for lab tests used to monitor patients and titrate support.

Blood draws for lab work are well-established as one of the main drivers of anemia of prematurity leading to a high rate of transfusion in the NICU. Learn more about the problem and how transcutaneous monitoring can be part of the solution.

In this article, Anne M. Geistkemper, MSc, RRT, RRT-NPS discusses the practical applications of transcutaneous CO2 monitoring in the NICU, its integration into neonatal care practices, and the evolution of this technology’s adoption in the Rush University Children’s Hospital NICU.

In this whitepaper, PICU specialists from Children’s Memorial Hermann share case studies demonstrating how continuous visibility provided by transcutaneous CO2 monitoring supported their team’s patient care strategies.
