CARESCAPE Patient Data Module ensures that the receiving nurse has a complete monitoring
history when a patient arrives.

The Stimuplex Pen helps anesthesia providers and educators locate superficial nerves through the skin before starting a nerve block.
The pen is used to find the optimal nerve block needle angle and entry point. This can help increase the potential of finding the nerve on the first needle pass as well as prevent repeated skin puncture.
The reusable Stimuplex Pen doubles as a teaching tool and increases interactivity and realism during
educational demonstrations. Students and educators can practice locating nerves both inside and outside the OR environment.

Newport Medical Instruments Inc.’s newest generation of ventilator, the Newport e360, has added a new Biphasic breath type to its latest software version.
Biphasic Pressure Release Ventilation (BPRV) allows free inhalation and exhalation during a pressure-controlled breath by means of a partially open, actively controlled exhalation valve. The goal of BPRV is to improve patient comfort, reduce the expiratory work of breathing and possibly improve oxygenation when the patient has an intact respiratory drive.

Constructed to be small and unobtrusive, the new BreatheX Journey CPAP from VIASYS is powered by a rechargeable battery that will provide 12 hours of use at 10 cm H2O.
Providing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) from 5 to 12 cm H2O, the BreatheX Journey features a ramp and altitude compensation and includes both a 21- inch and a 72- inch hose, which allows the system to be positioned in the most comfortable or convenient way.

The ZOLL R Series is a code-ready device that reportedly features a OneStep system designed to simplify and speed up deployment of pacing and defibrillation therapy.

It offers tools to help clinicians improve CPR performance and can verify the condition and expiration date of the electrode set, according to Zoll. All of this testing reportedly occurs without disconnecting electrodes or paddles, or requiring additional equipment to test shock delivery.

Results of a clinical study suggest a sterile barrier sheath system may eliminate the need for nasendoscope high-level disinfection.
One hundred flexible endoscopes using the Slide-On EndoSheath sterile barrier system distributed by Medtronic Inc. were evaluated for sheath integrity and bacterial contamination after use in patients. The study was conducted at an ambulatory ENT clinic using standard 30 cm flexible nasopharyngoscopes.

The Levitan FPS Scope is the first difficult airway device designed to be integrated into a first pass laryngoscopy strategy, providing fiberoptic visualization, as needed, within five seconds for every intubation.
First pass success requires knowledge and skill to achieve success on the first attempt at laryngoscopy. The Levitan FPS Scope incorporates fiberoptic technology into every intubation and helps avoid trauma from multiple laryngoscopies.
With the Levitan, one can visually confirm tube placement in seconds, avoiding long attempts at intubation and
