Lung-protective ventilation functionalities, cost-saving gas delivery technology, decision-support tools and comprehensive monitoring. Zeus IE integrates them all into one advanced anaesthesia workstation. It can, hence, improve clinical outcome, workflow efficiency, and cost savings throughout the anesthesia process.
The Zeus IE can be operated in conventional Fresh Gas Mode and in Auto Control mode (Target Control Anaesthesia - TCA).
Auto Control mode (TCA):
The blower ventilator is a pressure source which requires no driving gas to operate. It reduces actively the inspiratory resistance to enable spontaneous breathing and hence reduces WOB, even in Man/Spont mode. The virtually unlimited flow enables ve … More information
ry fast reaction times to even the weakest spontaneous breathing effort. The blower ventilator generates a circular flow that considerably reduces dead space at the Y-piece which is especially important when ventilating neonates:Facilitates and always supports the patient's spontaneous breathing on both pressure levels (BiPAP)Enables CPAP applicaton during Man/Spont to keep lungs of even obese and critically ill patients openKeeps the set PEEP level stable even in case of leakagesBesides all traditional and sophisticated ventilation modes Zeus IE can be equipped with the following options which can enhance lung-protective ventilation applications in the OR. Lung-protective ventilation can contribute in the reduction of ventil … More information

Beside displaying current depth of anaesthesia it provides a 20 minute prediction for the course of anaesthesia. This assists … More information

It can avoid over-dosage and hangover times after the end of surgery.Based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic patient modelsIsobole lines in 2D diagram representing areas of probability how patients will react to a defined pain stimulus, and indicating level of anaesthesia e.g. TOL 90, TOL 50, TOSSCommunicates with DIVA (direct injection volatile agent) module to enable "what if" function to show the calculated effect of a volatile agent setting before it is even confirmedDisplayed as split screen application on main screenIt was the target during the development of Zeus IE to improve workflow efficiency and ease of use to enhance staff satisfaction. In this regard it offers a lot of features and functionalities:
