CARESCAPE™ R860 Ventilator Features and Capabilities

Ease the flow of your workload with an intuitive interface and advanced decision support tools that help you
customize ventilation and high flow oxygen therapy for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Length of Stay: Calculate
the ICU impact

Evidence-based nutrition assessment using Indirect Calorimetry has been shown to potentially reduce LOS in the ICU as much as 2.9 days

  • Approximately 40 - 50% of ICU patients are malnourished.
  • Malnutrition is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
  • Predictive equations are accurate 30% of the time.
  • Average cost $4,772 per day.

calorimetry

Assess caloric needs using indirect calorimetry

Finding the right nutritional balance is critical to accelerating a ventilated patient’s recovery. Leverage an integrated respiratory module and Indirect Calorimetry software on the CARESCAPE™ R860 ventilator to help assess if you are overfeeding or underfeeding your patient. By continuously capturing gas exchange and energy consumption you can quickly tailor nutrition therapy for each patient. The system measures inspired O2 (VO2) and expired CO2 (VCO2) to calculate the Resting Energy Expenditure (EE) and the Respiratory Quotient (RQ).

When to use Indirect Calorimetry

  • In patients with known nutritional deficits or derangements.
  • When patients fail attempts at liberation from mechanical ventilation.
  • When the need exists to assess the VO2 to evaluate the hemodynamic support of mechanically ventilated patients.
  • To determine the causes of increased ventilatory requirements.

The Jewish Hospital Demonstrates over 2-Day Reduction in ICU Length of Stay

With the GE HealthCare Respiratory Gas Module integrated with the CARESCAPE™ R860 Ventilator, clinicians can:

  • Easily assess the caloric requirements of the critically ill ventilated patient.
  • Optimize a nutritional plan that integrates the entire care team.
  • Use Spontaneous Breathing Trials to easily liberate the patient from the ventilator.
  • Help reduce the ICU length of stay for critically ill ventilated patients, potentially improving patient outcomes, while saving significant costs for the hospital.
