VitalStream® for Perioperative Care
Make better treatment decisions throughout the entire perioperative continuum with continuous hemodynamic data.
VitalStream is a wireless, noninvasive advanced hemodynamic monitor that can seamlessly bridge monitoring gaps throughout perioperative care. The innovative low-pressure finger sensor can be comfortably worn by conscious patients. This allows VitalStream to easily be placed on patients in preop so you can get baseline readings and save valuable time in the OR.
VitalStream uses AI algorithms and patented Pulse Decomposition analysis to measure continuous blood pressure (BP), cardiac output (CO), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), cardiac power (CP) and other physiological parameters. It can provide immediate insights in
near real-time for early detection of decompensation and enable early intervention.
Clinically validated with patients on vasoactive drugs
Why continuous hemodynamic monitoring for perioperative care?
Even short periods of hypotension are associated with kidney and myocardial injury.3,4
of non-cardiac surgical patients experience an intraoperative hypotensive event.4
Spot checked blood pressure can lead to delayed event recognition and treatment, which can lead to adverse outcomes.3
Postoperative complications are the third most common cause of death in the world.5
Enhance patient safety
Gain insights to tailor fluid administration with the touch of a button.
Reduce the risk of perioperative complications and infections from invasive lines.
Get near real-time data and beat-by-beat insights into hemodynamic parameters for early detection of cardiovascular insufficiency.
Enable early ambulation after surgery with a wire-free monitoring experience.
Streamline your workflow for more efficient care
A one-size-fits-all finger sensor for streamlined application.
Fit, calibrate and monitor within 90 seconds for expedited pre op set-up.
Reposition patients without cumbersome wires in your way and there’s no need to re-zero upon position changes.
Easily portable from one floor to the next for seamless monitoring throughout a patient’s hospital stay.
Eliminate manual vital signs charting and transcription errors with EHR or monitoring system integration.
Tailor fluid administration for improved outcomes
Incorrect fluid administration can be disastrous and result in delayed recovery, increased length of stay, complications and costs. Positive and negative fluid balance increases the occurrence and progression of AKI after cardiac surgery.6 And volume overload is one of the five most common reasons for both acute and delayed readmission after cardiac surgery.7
VitalStream’s fluid response feature allows you to quickly and easily identify if a patient is fluid responsive. All you have to do is start and stop the timer with a push of a button. The percent of change calculations are done for you.
Enable early mobilization without sacrificing clinical insights
Early postoperative mobilization is a central tenent of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS). Good compliance with ERAS pathway implementation is associated with improved outcomes including a reduced risk of complications, LOS and costs. The majority of ERAS guidelines strongly recommend early postoperative mobilization.8
The VitalStream noninvasive hemodynamic monitor eliminates wires to untether your patients. It enables early ambulation after surgery without sacrificing advanced blood pressure and vital signs monitoring.
