With the changing technology landscape, demand of improved healthcare delivery and changing patient profile, the Indian medical technology industry is on fast track growth and is creating exciting scope to improve the way care is given to the patients. Patient monitoring is one of most occupants without which trauma and emergency, critical care and intensive care units of a healthcare delivery establishment cannot function.
More dependency on accuracy of parameters coupled with data storages including the full disclosure of waveforms, which include beat by beat waveform storage and review. It means clinician doesn’t need to go back to the central monitor to check the beat by beat waveform, clinicians can check the detailed information next to the patient. This all review data is time linked, helps in reducing the time spent operating the monitor. This facility helps clinician to spend more time on the patients and helps in faster clinical decisions at bed side.
Emphasis is growing on non invasive techniques to measure important parameters like continuous cardiac output. Nihon Kohden recently launched the esCCO, a novel technology to non-invasively measure continuous cardiac output from ECG and SpO2. esCCO is a new technology to determine the cardiac output using Pulse Wave Transit Time (PWTT) which is obtained by the pulse oximetry and ECG-signals from each cycle of the ECG and peripheral pulse wave. esCCO provides real-time, continuous and non-invasive cardiac output measurement. Ease of operating and ease of access to the technology will be the key in future.
Wireless telemetry in patient’s care is newer technologies that are being getting in fast. In clinical study Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville TN, US has completed a 1,270 patient two year controlled study evaluating continuous vital sign monitoring of post-surgical hospital patients. A preliminary analysis of the study data has shown an 85 per cent reduction of unplanned ICU transfers and a 69 per cent reduction of unplanned step down unit transfers for the patients on the study versus non-study patients on the same floors during the same time period (p<0.001). Had all patients on the study floor been placed on the study during the study period, over 10 million dollars in hospital charges could have been avoided..
Keeping customer support on top priority, Nihon Kohden has a large customer support network of 45 engineers located at more than 40 locations pan India.
