NICOM during and after major operations

NICOM offers a method of monitoring patients’ hemodynamic status during operation.

NICOM provides the ability of tailoring fluid management according to the physiological requirements.

The immediate insight into the patients Cardiac Output, Stroke Volume and total peripheral resistance provide an early warning tool to prevent potential complications.

The more commonly used hemodynamic parameters such as blood pressure, urine output, and oxygen saturation are altered at a later stage than Stroke volume variation, stroke volume index, and TPR.

Intraoperative fluid resuscitation guided by Cardiac Output Monitoring[1-3], has been shown to reduce length of hospital stay, ventilation days and complications.

Post operatively, in the Step-down/ recovery units, where the objective is to stabilize patient, replenish fluid losses caused before and during the operation and enable safe return to the floor, NICOM offers an affordable, reliable, and non-invasive tool for fluid optimization.

Post operative fluid optimization enhances perfusion, reduces chance for shock, renal failure, and wound complications.
