Pre-op: Optimizing Patient Management

Give Every Child the Chance at a Brighter Future

It's as clear as a bright, blue sky - the INVOS® System is clinically-proven technology. Numerous studies have shown that the INVOS® System can identify oxygen disturbances associated with complications both in the OR and ICU. The fact that it is used in 700+ U.S. hospitals, including 80% of hospitals performing pediatric cardiac surgery, tells you that cerebral and somatic oximetry is becoming a standard of care in pediatric critical care medicine.

In the OR and ICU, the INVOS® System can serve as a vigilant member of your care team, keeping a constant eye on your pediatric patients' oxygen levels to help you detect and, even more importantly, correct perfusion deficits.

The INVOS® System arms clinicians like you with site-specific oxygen information that will increase your ability to root out oxygenation problems, such as those associated with brain hypoperfusion, seizures, kidney failure and shock.

Though expert staffing and new surgical techniques have resulted in outcome improvements, the fact remains that neurological complications continue to occur in children.1,2 Using the INVOS® System in the ICU helps build a safety bridge from the OR to the ICU, helping create a brighter future.
