SmartPilot View is an advanced software that estimates and visualises the complex interactions of anaesthetic drugs using pharmacodynamic modelling for both the current and projected course of anaesthesia. This tool supports informed decision-making, enabling more precise and individualised titration of anaesthetic drugs.
SmartPilot View offers advanced visualisation of drug interactions. Combined with Dräger anaesthesia machines' precise ventilation and gas delivery, they form an advanced anaesthesia workstation that significantly improves patient-tailored anaesthesia management. Together, they support streamlined workflows, cost savings, and environmentally friendly practices that is elevating your perioperative care performance.
