Solution
Lung protective ventilation (LPV) software
Programable, step-by-step lung recruitment maneuver software on the main ventilation display that includes real-time compliance measurement to assess the procedure effectiveness. An exit PEEP feature lets you keep the lung open after the procedure is complete.

Electronic flow valve technology provides fast response times, quickly achieves set pressures and precisely delivers tidal volumes as low as 5 ml in pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) mode³. This precision helps deliver personalized care to ventilate from the simplest to the most complex cases and patient types.

Solution
Low-flow software
ecoFLOW software helps support clinicians in the practice of low-flow anaesthesia by predicting how much O₂ is needed within the fresh gas flow for each patient to minimize the risk of delivering a hypoxic mixture to the patient—even at very low flows. ecoFLOW has the potential to deliver a positive impact on the environment and reduce agent costs when agent waste gases are reduced.

4 Hospitals can be spending an extra 15–30% for anesthetic agents in an OR due to high flow estimates derived from the GE Healthcare ecoFLOW Calculator. https://gehealthcareamer.my.salesforce.com/sfc/#version?selectedDocumentId=069a0000004eOn7

A specially designed rear door covers all cables and hoses, yet still allows easy access to gas cylinders, gas connectors and circuit breakers. Cables and hoses are shielded from dust, and the smooth exterior simplifies surface cleaning. 

Hose hook makes it easy to maneuver the unit inside and outside the OR. The machine top provides ample workspace with lighting for dark environments.

There’s no more clicking through menus and submenus to access functions you use most often. Lung Recruitment, Timer, Pause Gas Flow, Auto Alarm, Turn Manual Alarm Off and other settings appear on the main ventilation display —right at your fingertips.

You get clear indication of system status on the display when using Auxiliary Common Gas Outlet (ACGO), Aux O2 or standby mode, or when you switch from bag to mechanical ventilation.

Whenever auxiliary ports are in use, lighting indicates the active flow controls. Visual reinforcement on the ventilation screen highlights flow status.

A standard user interface on the Carestation anaesthesia machine and the CARESCAPE™ Patient Monitor helps reduce training time, so you can easily follow your patients from transport to bedside.

Self-contained subsystems such as the integrated gas module and breathing system, are designed for rapid removal and replacement without tools to minimize OR late starts or downtime.

Thanks to its small volume and linear design, The Compact Breathing System provides fast response to changes in fresh gas flow composition even at low and minimal flow. Maintenance is simplified with the modular and quick release design.
