Ward

To ensure efficient patient care management, the transition from the critical care unit to the general ward is crucial. In the ward, patients engage in mobility and walk as part of their recovery process. Nihon Kohden offers an optimal monitoring solution that promotes an eustressful environment while maintaining secure monitoring through wireless technology. Additionally, to facilitate proper monitoring and treatment within the wards, we provide an alarm management solution. Furthermore, our non-intubation ventilators enhance workflow efficiency and streamline clinical processes.

Ambulation has long been accepted as an essential part of recovery in a hospital that may decrease the length of stay and improve outcomes.1 Unfortunately, ambulation can be hindered by the need to ensure continuous patient monitoring.

The Life Scope G3 series of patient monitors offers the best of all worlds: A specialty patient monitor that can be used to stabilize a patient in place, if needed, with a compact design that allows for ease of movement.

Available with three levels of functionality, the Life Scope G3 delivers early progressive ambulation in a smart, safe and secure package.

The Nihon Kohden Life Scope E5 is a patient monitoring system designed for hospital wards. It offers easy access to patient data with a large numeric display, visible even from a distance. The Interbed function allows healthcare professionals to manage multiple patients across different rooms. With the NK Gateway Solution, patient vitals can be monitored remotely. The esCCO feature provides real-time cardiac output measurement, helping to detect early signs of patient deterioration. The Early Warning Score (EWS) helps assess a patient's risk level. The monitor also adjusts brightness according to ambient light and includes a sleep mode to minimize disruptions, making it an essential tool for healthcare professionals in ward settings.

As the heart of the Nihon Kohden Patient Monitoring System, the Central Nursing Station provides comprehensive patient monitoring and review of up to 32 patients using two displays.
