Patient Safety: DARPA Integrated LSTAT Robot Diagnostic Platform

2008-09-14T19:43:30.419Z

The Integrated LSTAT (Life Support Trauma And Transport) Robot Diagnostic System is being developed by the Bio Robotics Lab at the Carnegie Mellon University. The LSTAT system incorporates many of the functions of an ICU, but is contained entirely within a stretcher. It houses a defibrillator, an oxygen supply, a ventilator, and various forms of physiological monitoring. It was built and developed by Integrated Medical Systems, Inc., and is currently in operational use in military support in the U.S. and Overseas. The completed system will provide a key component to the DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Trauma POD & Mobile Operating Room of the Future Program.

Patient Safety: Results from 156 Hospitals Validate VISICU's eICU® Program

2008-09-04T03:11:03.958Z

ICU patients are nearly one-third less likely to die, on average, when treated at hospitals using the eICU® care delivery model, according to study results released by VISICU, Inc. Data from more than 185,000 patients treated in 2006-2007 at hospital intensive care units (ICUs) using VISICU's eICU technology show significant reductions in mortality rates. Both published data from individual hospitals, and an analysis of VISICU data collected from 156 hospitals nationwide, show that using advanced eICU technologies to link remote critical care specialists 24/7 with hospital ICU teams is a potential solution to the nation's growing crisis in critical care. http://www.visicu.com/company/index.html
