Intuitive, individualized ventilation
| Feature | Advantage — How it supports you |
|---|---|
| Intuitive, familiar interface | Easy-to-access functions streamline daily workflow; save preferred views and easily toggle between saved screen settings; reduces mental fatigue. |
| View past, present and future data | Gain a comprehensive understanding of patient progress by swiping left to view historical trends, center view to see patient status and swiping right for clinical decision support tools that help plan future treatment. |
| Advanced therapy with decision support tools | Reduce length of stay by employing unique maneuvers and monitoring parameters that support Lung protective ventilation (FRC, SpiroDynamics, Vd/VT and PEEPINview), Indirect Calorimetry, Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) for weaning, and High Flow O2 Therapy. |
| Protocolize weaning | Provides consistency across ICU clinicians with an SBT mode that is customized for each patient; Quickly set SBT time, Stop criteria and Resume current ventilation mode. Leaks are measured on a breath-by-breath basis for increased responsiveness. |
| Neonate support tools | Volume Support ventilation mode continuously adjusts to help support spontaneous breathing. Noninvasive ventilation modes such as nCPAP and High Flow O2 Therapy can help prevent the need for intubation. |
| High Flow O2 Therapy | Increases operational efficiency by using one breathing circuit throughout the entire intensive care workflow for each patient (example: non-invasive ventilation > mechanical ventilation > O2 therapy with one machine). |
| Flexible service options | Helps reduce downtime with GE Healthcare service programs that fit your budget and complement your biomed engineers'expertise. |
If the pressure and volume settings on the ventilator are not individualized to the patient, there is a risk of ventilatorinduced lung injury. Understanding the volume and pressure in the patient’s lungs can help avoid pulmonary complications.

The SpiroDynamics™ Sensor System is a patented CARESCAPE R860 feature that measures tracheal pressure with an intratracheal pressure sensor. The system excludes the effect of endotracheal tube resistance on the pressure measurements and the P/V loops, allowing a better view of the actual pressure delivered to the patient’s lungs.
Proper nutrition plays a vital role in the recovery of your ventilated patients. 3,4 This is why finding the right nutritional balance for a patient’s individual needs is critical in speeding up the healing process. The CARESCAPE R860 ventilator integrates a respiratory module and IC measurement software, so you can continuously capture gas exchange and energy consumption of your patient to help you customize their nutritional support. The system measures inspired O2 (VO2) and expired CO2 (VCO2) to calculate the Resting Energy Expenditure (EE) and the Respiratory Quotient (RQ).
CARESCAPE Respiratory Module (optional) actually measures — not just estimates — VO2 and VCO2 and the ventilator software displays EE and RQ.
When researchers combined the benefits of Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) and Indirect Calorimetry (IC) measurements into the energy expenditure and optimized oxygenation (EEOO) protocol, they discovered it reduced time on the ventilator from 7.2 days to 4.3. This also led to reductions in ICU and overall hospital LOS. 5
Over 40% of the time spent on managing patient mechanical ventilation is allocated on weaning the patient. 1 Using the Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) mode on the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator can help you assess when a patient is ready to wean and breathe on their own. The SBT program allows clinicians to administer trials in a consistent manner, while providing continuous trending and documentation of results to assess progress during trials. By using a standardized weaning protocol, ICU clinicians can reduce the amount of time spent weaning by 78%. 2

Once the trial is complete, clinicians can decide to continue a new SBT or resume the current mode of ventilation.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that patients benefit from High Flow O2 Therapy. These benefits include reduced work of breathing, pharyngeal dead space washout, and increased PEEP, which can lead to alveolar recruitment. 3,4,5 And, when used after mechanical ventilation, High Flow O2 Therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of reintubation. 6
Easing ICU workload is the goal of integrating O2 Therapy with the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator, so you have a seamless transition from mechanical ventilation to prescribed oxygen treatments. In only a few clicks, you can switch your patient to O2 Therapy without changing your breathing circuit.
Whether you want to control infection or measure new patient parameters, use CARESCAPE R680 compatible consumables, accessories and modules for optimal performance.
Using the integrated gas module on the CARESCAPE R860 ventilator allows clinicians to perform advanced lung measurements like FRC as well as perform Indirect Calorimetry studies to assess patient nutritional status. The gas module contains O2 and CO2 sensors to directly measure gas exchange and energy consumption
This ISG is required to protect the pneumatic engine from external contamination, while the patient breathing circuit is connected to the ventilator. It is a mechanical, hydrophobic filter (not electrostatic) with a filtration efficiency of >99.999% for viral and bacterial particles.
The flow sensor is one of the most important components of your critical care ventilator. It automatically checks patient airway flow and pressure 250 times per second, making it the “eye” of your ventilator. Both reusable and single-patient-use (shown here) options are available. The exhalation valve housing contains the expiratory flow sensor and water trap.
