Hemodynamic Unit (AP-170P)

The Hemodynamic Unit is a Nihon Kohden module that combines innovative technologies for hemodynamic measurements in one device to provide comprehensive hemodynamic monitoring with a smart data review 

PiCCO TECHNOLOGY 
The PiCCO technology is an easy, less invasive, and cost-efficient tool for determining the main hemodynamic parameters of critically ill patients. It enhances the accuracy and precision of hemodynamic monitoring through a combination of arterial pulse contour analysis calibrated via transpulmonary thermodilution.  

The precise PiCCO parameters allow physicians to perform patient-individualized therapy with optional use of inotropes and vasopressors. It enables the measurement of extravascular lung water for pulmonary oedema assessment. PiCCO is a clinically proven and widely accepted minimally-invasive alternative to the pulmonary artery catheter. It also supports the understanding of complex conditions such as septic and cardiogenic shock or ARDS. 

ProAQT TECHNOLOGY 
ProAQT technology provides beat-to-beat cardiac trend output for optimal perioperative hemodynamic management. It works with standard arterial catheters for easy and quick setup. ProAQT technology allows for the validated interpretation of the patient's hemodynamic status to recognize patient instability early, as well as the detection of dynamic fluid responsiveness. Multicenter studies show a reduction in complications. ProAQT technology also supports manual calibration using external reference cardiac output values (e.g., echocardiography). 

SMART DATA REVIEW 
Nihon Kohden monitors provide smart data reviews, with a simple-to-follow user interface shown on the display. All hemodynamic parameters can be viewed at a glance to visualize volumetric information for faster intervention. 

COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION 
The Hemodynamic Unit provides a comprehensive solution to provide the full range of hemodynamic monitoring with Nihon Kohden bedside monitor and to meet the challenges of each acuity level. With the combination of innovative technologies and smart data review, the Hemodynamic Unit offers a complete hemodynamic monitoring solution for patients at any acuity level.
