Simple answers to complex questions
Mechanically ventilated patients are constantly challenging clinicians with complex questions regarding their current respiratory status and the adequacy of ventilatory support. The Respironics NM3 monitors physiologic gas exchange, deadspace, and alveolar tidal volume, as well as a host of accessory parameters. This valuable insight helps you answer the toughest clinical questions, throughout the continuum of care. You can minimize the duration of mechanical ventilation and optimize the potential for successful extubation when managing critically ill patients with confidence because at every stage of care the NM3 monitors the patient’s response to ventilation.
Key advantages
True mainstream or sidestream CO2 monitoring for intubated and non-intubated patients
Portable and adaptable monitoring, on and off all conventional ventilators
Direct interface with the V200 ventilator to expand data collection and display
Philips Respironics NM3
Key applications
Confirm proper endotracheal tube placement
Determine true alveolar tidal volume, independent of dead space
Determine the effects of ventilator changes before the first ABG is drawn
Monitor appropriate PEEP levels, alveolar recruitment, and pulmonary perfusion
Obtain non-invasive cardiac output measurements
Assess readiness for weaning and extubation
Monitor patients post-extubation and under conscious sedation
VentAssist option for the Respironics NM3 respiratory profile monitor
VentAssist supports lung protective strategies for adult patients by providing an intuitive representation of patient status and advice on ventilation settings. Clinicians receive the assistance they want: Guidance based on six key parameters; Peace of mind that their patients are appropriately supported; Sense of control that an open loop system will not change settings. These are the benefits of VentAssist, and when combined with the other features of the Respironics NM3 respiratory profile monitor, VentAssist supports ventilation management with any ventilator.
