Hemodynamic Management in Sepsis Patients
Everyone is at risk of developing sepsis. Globally, up to 50 million people are affected by sepsis, every year. Every 2.8 seconds, one patient dies from sepsis and associated complications. Often, it can be prevented by vaccination, clean water and hygiene, safe childbirth, and preventing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). However, sepsis is often underdiagnosed, especially at an early stage where treatments are more successful.

Monitor diaphragm and improve mechanical ventilation
Respiratory support is a lifesaving intervention in the ICU, but without the right balance it also increases the risk of detrimental outcomes.1,2 This is when diaphragm monitoring can help, because it is a marker of outcomes such as hospital mortality and prolonged weaning. Furthermore, it can help you make more informed therapy decisions throughout respiratory treatment.
