The Hemodynamic Extension is designed to work with the Philips Multi-Measurement Module and supports cardiac output monitoring from a right heart catheter. Continuous cardiac output with PiCCO® is available as an option*.
The Hemodynamic Extension is a lightweight, rugged, plug-and-play unit that slides directly on top of the Multi-Measurement Module and travels easily with a patient. At the bedside, the Multi-Measurement Server/Hemodynamic Extension combination can be connected to IntelliVue patient monitors. During transport, the unit stores patient demographics and up to eight hours of patient trend data, as well as calibration and measurement settings.
Traditional right heart thermodilution
Right heart thermodilution is the clinical "gold standard" for determining cardiac output. The Hemodynamic Extension displays the thermodilution curve and the following numerics:
- Cardiac output
- Cardiac index
- Blood temperature
It has four ports for cardiac output, temperature, invasive pressure, and invasive pressure/temperature.
A powerful combination
The combination of the Multi-Measurement Module and Hemodynamic Extension provides all of these measurements in one compact unit:
- ECG
- Respiration
- SpO2
- 1 port for non-invasive blood pressure
- 1 port for invasive pressure
- 1 port for temperature
- 2 ports that can be used for invasive pressure or temperature
- Cardiac output
- PiCCO
