"Although respiratory mechanics has been researched for many years, there has been a lack of measurement technology that allows clinical assessment of the tracheal and alveolar pressures in ventilated patients," said Dr. Stenqvist. "The SpiroDynamics and FRC INview extend the performance of the Engstrm Carestation by providing clinicians with pressure and volume measurements directly from the patient's lungs, plus the ability to measure their Functional Residual Capacity."
Both SpiroDynamics and FRC INview provide an improved view of the patient's respiratory function for enhanced patient ventilation support. When used together, the Engstrm Carestation combines the two technologies on-screen for a complete Lung INview display.
