Data to be presented at American Society of Anesthesiologists Annual
Meeting as Masimo showcases world's first-and-only noninvasive and continuous hemoglobin (SpHb) and Oxygen Content (SpOC) monitor with live
booth demonstrations
IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Masimo, the inventor of Pulse CO-Oximetry(TM) and Measure-Through-Motion-and-Low-Perfusion pulse oximetry, announced today that five new independent and objective studies demonstrating Masimo PVI to be highly predictive of patient fluid status will be presented at the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) Annual Meeting in Orlando, Fla., October 19-21, 2008.
Fluid administration is critical to optimizing patient status and enabling end organ preservation, but traditional methods to guide fluid administration are invasive and often fail to predict fluid responsiveness. PVI has been shown to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients under general anesthesia during surgery, and may help clinicians optimize fluid administration and improve patient outcomes.(2-4)
Also at ASA for the first time, Masimo will be showcasing live
demonstrations of the first-ever noninvasive and continuous hemoglobin
(SpHb) and Oxygen Content (SpOC) monitor. SpHb provides instantaneous
hemoglobin measurements that may facilitate faster, easier, safer, and
better clinical decisions by allowing clinicians to more quickly detect
chronic or acute anemia, identify occult bleeding earlier, and more
effectively manage blood transfusions. While oxygen saturation (SpO2) and
hemoglobin are considered critical parameters for patient management,
neither parameter by itself can indicate the actual amount of oxygen in the
blood. However, now with Masimo Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry, SpHb and
SpO2 can be used together to provide clinicians with the first-and-only
technology for real-time and noninvasive oxygen content (SpOC(TM))
monitoring,
