NellcorTM Respiratory Monitoring System
- Early warning system: pulse oximetry provides an earlier and more direct assessment of adverse respiratory events than cardiac monitoring.1,2
- May reduce readmission of patients to the ICU after primary discharge.3
- Cost-effective way to better manage higher-acuity patients outside the ICU.
- Enables earlier alarm detection, resulting in:
- 50% reduction in non-ICU arrests.4
- 88% reduction is hospital bed-days post cardiac arrests.6
- 26% reduction in overall on hospital mortality.6
- Provides a solution to recognize deterioration, as well as detailed communication, which supports compliance with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) National Patient Safety Goals on improving the effectiveness of communication and improving recognition and response to changes in a patient’s condition.5
