• The CareFusion Ventilation System: CareFusion has developed connectivity, interfacing and analytics applications that work with our leading ventilator and smart pump technology to help address challenges beyond the scope of a traditional stand-alone ventilator. The CareFusion Respiratory Knowledge Portal is an analytics and reporting tool that helps hospitals measure and address clinical and process variability in mechanical ventilation. It can identify exceptions and measure compliance with policies and protocols in the following areas: ventilator weaning, lung protective strategies, alarm policy, VAE surveillance and ICU sedation.
• AirLife^® Respiratory Products: AirLife will feature a number of new products including the Intersurgical adult heated circuits and humidification chambers, AcuCare^™ nasal high flow cannulas from ResMed and AirLife non-invasive ventilation (NIV) masks. Other products that will be featured include the AirLife Misty Fast™ small volume nebulizers and other products related to open and closed suction, infant care, bronchial hygiene, oxygen therapy and medication delivery that assist clinicians in the potential to improve workflow efficiencies, increase standardization and reduce variability.
• 3100A and 3100B High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV): Learn more about how HFOV may be beneficial for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), influenza or when protective lung ventilation is failing.
• Infant Flow SiPAP system: Combined with patented generator technology designed specifically for infants, this system provides a complete solution for noninvasive ventilation support.
• Transport and Emergency Preparedness Ventilators: ReVel^® ventilators provide portable ventilation on the fly--with critical tools and high-level performance for pediatric (> 5 kg) to adult patients in emergency transport. The low profile design of the LTV^® Series ventilators provides portable, invasive and noninvasive ventilation, for critical care, emergency departments, emergency preparedness, patient transport, long-term care and home care.
