Airway Management in the ICU
Within the ICU, intubated patients are at a heightened risk for additional diseases, pneumonia and morbidity.
Providing real-time continuous monitoring of the trachea, ETView’s TVT™ enables early detection and corrective action in cases of tube displacement and properly-controlled management of secretions, thereby reducing morbidity related to inadequate suctioning of secretions, tube positioning and occurrences of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia.
It is expected that the TVT will significantly lower healthcare costs and reduce hospitalization days attributed to these complications. In addition, the continuous monitoring capability will reduce the need for frequent and costly fiber-optic bronchoscopes or mobile chest X-rays for verifying tube position.
Currently in clinical use in over 40 hospitals, the TVT enables effective airway management by continuous monitoring of patient airways.
