TCM IN THE NICU

Balancing Brain & Lung Protection in the NICU with Transcutaneous CO2

Keeping your sights on CO2 values can help deliver the most gentle effective ventilatory support for the individual patient – support that protects the neonatal brain without damaging premature lungs.

TCM IN THE NICU

Balancing Brain & Lung Protection in the NICU with Transcutaneous CO2

Keeping your sights on CO2 values can help deliver the most gentle effective ventilatory support for the individual patient – support that protects the neonatal brain without damaging premature lungs.

Benefits for Patients

Site times up to 8 hours enable low stimulation protocols while continuous CO2 information helps safely reduce blood draws and heel sticks.

Low operating temperature and customized adhesion options protect fragile skin.

Non airway-dependent CO2 values are accurate regardless of ventilation modality or severity of lung compromise.

Benefits for Providers

Continuous, accurate CO2 values paired with site times up to 8 hours let you keep a close eye on these fragile patients while letting them be.

Transcutaneous technology provides accurate CO2 readings regardless of ventilation strategy, enabling enhanced assessment during de-escalation or accelerations in care or support.

Easy-to-learn technology and processes that enhance ventilatory management for individual patients.

Benefits for Facilities

Transcutaneous CO2 provides accurate ventilation information where end tidal can’t – even during high frequency and high flow ventilation methods as well as bubble CPAP and spontaneous breathing.

Continuous, accurate CO2 information allows for the safe reduction of blood draws and heel sticks, reducing hard costs as well as softer costs like pain, blood loss, transfusion, and infection.

AARC guidelines recommend transcutaneous monitoring for any patient on high frequency or high flow ventilation, as well as any patient who would benefit from minimal blood draws.

At the end of the day, we know you need to see this product work in your unit, with your staff, on your patients. Requesting a demo is the first step to getting this technology in your hands for a thorough evaluation.

The Drawbacks of Blood Draws: Transcutaneous Technology Can Help

The implementation of transcutaneous monitoring in one NICU was associated with a 25% decrease in blood draws on ventilated patients.1 Learn more below about why reducing blood draws is an important initiative in neonatology.

    Pain and the Neonatal Brain: History, Outcomes, and Strategies for Improvement

    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.

    Reducing Blood Loss in the NICU

    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 NEONATAL AND PEDIATRIC CARE

Airway clearance therapy for the delicate lungs of neonates and children

Sentec IPV Therapy is an effective, safe, and well-tolerated airway clearance therapy that restores gas exchange capacity for diverse respiratory patients. Adjustable settings place control in caregivers’ hands, enabling safe, customized therapy for patients in the NICU and PICU.

Benefits for Patients

Adjustable settings enable a smooth, gentle flow that supports a comfortable and safe therapy experience for even the most delicate patients.

IPV therapy is a clinically effective and well-tolerated treatment for a range of patient populations – including children with neuromuscular diseases, severe asthma, and bronchiolitis.

Benefits for Providers

Customizable settings can be adjusted based on respiratory condition, lung function, tolerance, and comfort, enabling clinicians to provide a tailored treatment to each patient.

IPV therapy can be delivered through a mouthpiece, mask, direct to the airway, or in-line with a ventilator, allowing for adaptable treatment delivery based on patient need.

Benefits for Facilities

IPV therapy combines secretion clearance, lung recruitment, and hyperinflation relief into a single treatment modality, enabling a streamlined treatment plan.

As a clinically effective airway clearance therapy, IPV therapy is associated with improved outcomes for patients that reduce costs for NICUs and PICUs.
