Noninvasive BP and fluid status monitoring
CNAP PPV is the latest generation of the CNAP (Continuous Noninvasive Arterial Pressure) technology from CNSystems. Like the first generation product, the new device measures noninvasive blood pressure for each heartbeat using finger sensors. The additional function is the continuous measurement of the patient’s fluid status during operations. In case of a deficit, an infusion can then be administered and therefore complications be avoided. The device extends the positive outcome of goal-directed fluid management beyond high-risk, arterial-line or Doppler-monitored surgeries. This would allow fluid management to become an actual and routine clinical standard for anaesthetised patients. According to experts, in 39% of all operations patients would be eligible for this method of fluid management. It thus provides a cost-saving solution, since complications are decreased, treatment is optimised and the length of hospitalisation is reduced.
