At your side in intensive care

The ICU – a healing environment

Workflow and workspace limitations put a strain on ICU staff and divert their attention away from the patient. Inconsistent user interfaces, varying nomenclature and accessories are a potential source for human error. Innovative technology can turn an intensive-care unit into a healing environment where your patients feel more comfortable and your staff is naturally motivated. Technology from Dräger can help you achieve tangible therapeutic and workflow improvements.

A concerted approach

Efficiency begins with an ergonomic workplace design tailored to your individual workflow and available space. It should support patient and caregiver safety and simplify the utilisation of devices and accessories around the patient. Bedside access to all clinical information facilitates timely and informed decisions. Advanced, protective ventilation concepts can help you reduce ventilation times and improve therapeutic outcome. Dräger consultation and life-cycle management services can help you maximise both the value and efficiency of your intensive-care area. A custom-designed workplace that is seamlessly integrated, digitally connected and embedded in an ambient illumination concept can turn your ICU into a true healing environment.

Benefits

Putting technology to work for you

Around the world, Dräger has equipped and serviced many thousands of ICUs. Clinical studies have repeatedly demonstrated the positive impact our technology can have on therapeutic outcomes and process efficiency. Our customers trust our application expertise and appreciate our ongoing commitment to innovation.


Advanced, protective ventilation

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) can help avoid intubation and re-intubation, significantly reducing length of stay and complication rates. For intubated patients, our lung protection package can help reduce the incidence of lung injury. Automated, knowledge-based, closed-loop applications can reduce weaning and overall ventilation time. Electrical impedance tomography* provides continuous, non-invasive visualisation of ventilation while smart applications can help reduce the cognitive workload by visualising pulmonary-function data.
* Available in 2011


Every decision counts

To make effective decisions, clinicians need information and often from a number of different sources. Our clinical information-management approach gives you access to the full set of clinical data directly at the point of care.


Moving patients safely

Dräger mobile monitoring solutions support patient safety and save time. For uninterrupted patient surveillance, Infinity monitors can automatically switch from wired to wireless networking and even share your existing hospital network for maximum cost efficiency.
