Data obtained reflects flow and not pressure, which I consider more informative in management of high risk surgical cases. It takes only a few minutes, and no additional equipment or procedure to set up the monitor and obtain the reading.
Monitoring is real time and continuous, for as long as necessary.
They all greatly benefit by the hemodynamic monitoring. Even in patients already having pulmonary artery catheter monitoring, HemoSonic 100 provided the most valuable information in the real time, continuous fashion. My anesthetic technique has become so much safer with the use of the HemoSonic, so much safer indeed, that I wonder how I could have given anesthesia safely without it. The HemoSonic provides me with real-time information on Cardiac function and patient fluid levels. This allows me to optimize fluid levels throughout the case.
