A Critical Care Unit is a fast-paced, complex environment with compromised
patients. Among the many challenges in managing these patients is that
their status can change rapidly. Laboratory
indicators like blood gases need to be monitored frequently, especially in
seriously ill patients. Laboratory results from blood drawn even an hour
earlier may not be an accurate representation of your patient's status.
The i-STAT® 1 handheld system is well suited to the rigorous demands of a CCU. It is portable, easy to use, and performs a complete panel of tests
from a single platform – enabling you to more quickly and effectively
monitor and manage your seriously ill patients. Critical tests include:
blood gases, electrolytes, chemistries, coagulation, lactate, and cardiac
markers.
