An advanced software option for mechanical ventilation, the PAV Proportional Assist Ventilation Plus delivers positive airway pressure that is directly related to a patient’s inspiratory effort during spontaneous breathing. Ventilator support increases as patient demand increases, optimizing the patient’s contribution to the total work of breathing.

The disposable air-Q intubating laryngeal airway can be used every day as a routine airway allowing clinicians the option to intubate using standard oral ET tubes. Clinicians can easily remove the air-Q after intubation with the unique Removal Stylet.

Mercury Medical is also introducing the air-Vu, a fiber optic rigid scope providing clinicians with the ability to reliably visualize the laryngeal inlet when intubating through the air-Q.

April 11, 2007 - InfoLogix Inc., provider of mobile intelligence technology solutions, has acquired a patent portfolio surrounding RFID technology that manages proper medication management and delivery. The acquisition strengthens InfoLogix's ability to extend the functionality of its Mobile Care Stations with automated medication tracking, in addition to complementing the capabilities of InfoLogix's RFID-based software systems, HealthTrax and BedCentral ED, which help manage workflow and locate clinicians, patients and assets in hospitals.

Spotlighting Surgical Success
Whether anchored to a hospital, part of a chain or just a small, independent medical oasis in the middle of nowhere, outpatient surgery centers contribute a great deal to the healthcare industry collectively and to patients individually.

The first thing you should know about remarketed or used equipment is that it’s not about picking up someone else’s junk or problems. At least for the educated buyer.
By filtering out the vendor stereotypes and marketplace stigmas and doing your homework you can locate a gem in the rough that not only will suit your needs, but deliver the performance, bolster the volume and generate the revenue you seek.

BUILDING

Today’s medical professionals are looking for every advantage available in their quest to improve patient care, provide accurate diagnostic outcomes and simultaneously manage the myriad of economic hurdles that impact the cost of doing business. Breast biopsy is in the critical care path of women’s healthcare and the practice of performing fast, safe and simple procedures that offer the least amount of trauma to the patient are most often the same whether in private breast practice settings or large academic centers.

Reimbursement cuts and stringent budget restrictions are the reality for many facilities when they consider purchasing medical imaging equipment. These conditions especially apply to facilities in the nonhospital outpatient market. Healthcare organizations are trying to keep up with the increasing needs and demands of the medical imaging market without sacrificing patient care. When faced with this dilemma, Medical Imaging Center of Fairfax in Fairfax, VA, found its solution in refurbished imaging equipment.


In a “Family Feud” game show style, if you were asked to highlight some of the significant and specific contributions of computers to imaging techniques, chances are good that picture archiving and communications systems (PACS), radiology information systems (RIS) and computed tomography (CT) would take the top three of five most popular responses.

In the current excitement about digital mammography, the focus of attention has been on the merits of one capture technology over another. There has been much less interest in the storage needs created by these digital imaging systems.
This lack of interest in the storage of digital mammograms is understandable. After all, these files are just stored on a server somewhere, right? Well, the answer is yes, but this topic deserves serious consideration for the following reasons:

While much of the buzz in recent years surrounding computed tomography technology has focused on the escalating number of slices newer units are capable of delivering, there's more to the modality than just how to speed up the process.
