User Insight: Working with PulmoVista 500
PulmoVista 500 in everyday clinical routine
There are patients in the intensive care unit of Garibaldi Hospital in Catania, Sicily, whose vital bodily functions are defective or have failed and require mechanical ventilation. Using the PulmoVista 500, the ventilation of these patients is made continuously visible in real time, thus enabling an individualised respiratory therapy guidance.
Professor Sergio Pintaudi, chief physician for anaesthesiology and intensive care at the Garibaldi Hospital, and his team use PulmoVista 500 for ventilated patients. He calls the device an ‘assistant’ and a ‘good companion’ of an intensivist.
