Helmet? Not a panacea, but, if properly applied, valuable tool to begin patient’s treatment even before #ICU admission: 🪖 interface + available configurations & options approaching helmet-delivered ventilator support: devil is in the details ⚠️ 🪖clinical evidence Also for non-invasive ventilation, one size does not fit all! Accurate patient’s selection & close monitoring of clinical evolution mandatory for success. 🖇️ https://bit.ly/4eOd720

What if there were one reliable single-use bronchoscopy solution you could use for a range of ICU procedures from basic to advanced? Hospitals have adopted single-use bronchoscopes for basic procedures in the ICU due to certain advantages like continuous availability, portability and sterility. For advanced procedures, though, many physicians prefer a high-performance reusable bronchoscope. However, this makes it necessary to move the tower from the bronchoscopy suite, set up the products and switch to a different system. See how one integrated system keeps you in control: https://ow.ly/nCYe50QkxX5

INNOVATION 💡 | According to the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), “the most common technological support is mechanical ventilation, required by 20% to 40% of U.S. ICU admissions”, with acute respiratory failure being among the top five causes of adult ICU admissions. #ICU ventilators must have features that facilitate clinical vigilance at the bedside. Advanced monitoring allows for rapid adjustments to ventilation according to the respiratory mechanics of these critically ill patients, aiding clinicians in decision-making throughout therapy. ⤵️ Discover below some  𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗹™ 𝗧𝗘𝗢 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿. 📅 Follow us in a week to learn more about the innovative functional exploration tools in Monnal™ TEO, complementing its advanced monitoring to support bedside decision-making. #MedTech #AirLiquideHealthcare ------ Monnal™ TEO is a IIB Medical Device - Conformity assessment: GMED CE 0459 - Please read the user manual carefully. *SSCM - Critical Care Statistics 2024

💻️Lunch & Learn 👓️- The Catheter Care Edition! This week in our lunch and learn we covered catheter care. This is a critical area of the type of thing we look after because poor care can result in infections which can cause confusion, loss of mobility and even hospital admission. The team talked about their expeience of using all kinds of kit and we discussed: 🦴How the urinary system works - what are the parts and what they do so we can understand better when somethings not working. 💧Catheters - we looked at and handled a few different types of catheter and explored how they are used. We disucssed intermittent self catheterisation, urethral and suprapubic catheters. 🚾Conveen - we also talked about other options like an external catheter or conveen which rolls on like a condom and can be attached to a bag which is can be brilliant for overnight. We believe the staff looking after you should be well trained and responsive. We want the staff to be happy with clear pathways to develop themselves and learn more so they are happy too. 🫶🏽If you want advice about a catheter, are interested in working for a team that learns together or think we might be the team for you, please get in touch!

Be ready for anything with the all-in-one CVC ... The Multicath Up Highflow 5 Lumen catheter offers more access points for drug and fluid therapy, aiming to enhance the delivery of care and patient outcomes. It is pressure tested for contrast media infusion in CT and has a large lumen high-flow catheter to deliver flow rates up to 400 mL/min. Why is this important? ✅ Preserves vessels - fewer vascular access insertions ✅ Time saving - prevents delay in treatment ✅ Cost effective Patient safety and comfort is important to us, this is why we focus on making products that improve patient care.

Yesterday's Symposium Preceding Frederique Paulus' Inaugural Speech ['If it Does not Benefit, it Harms'] Was Enlightening Stijn Blot delivered a comprehensive overview of the evidence against chlorhexidine mouthwashing in ICU patients, highlighting abundant evidence against its benefits and, indeed, evidence indicating potential harm. A thought-provoking lecture that underscores the importance of evidence-based practices in ICU care ... and a perfect example of 'if it does not benefit, it harms'. #AmsterdamUMC #UvA #HVA #ICUcare #EvidenceBasedMedicine #ChlorhexidineMouthwash #harm
