Lung disease requiring hospitalization is on the rise sharply. Millions of
adults and children suffer from chronic lung diseases such as asthma,
emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and smoking induced illnesses. These
patients can experience dramatic changes in pulmonary status.
Waiting on centralized lab results, or relying on information that is even
an hour old could further compromise your patient's status. The i-STAT® 1
handheld system puts you in control. Portable and easy to use, the i-STAT
1 provides reliable blood analysis in just minutes, from the bedside. This
gives RTs the ability to better monitor patients and to more quickly
implement changes in ventilation or medication. |
