Mass Spectrometer Probe for Measurement of Gas Tensions
Suggested Uses
pulmonary diagnostics in ARDS and ALI patients
diagnostics and monitoring of severe attacks in asthma and COPD patients
adjustment of ventilator parameters for patients on mechanical ventilators
Advantages
accurate automated measurement of V/Q ratios by MIGET process in 8 min using 4 ml of blood
does not require highly skilled operator or large samlpes of patient’s blood
does not require gas chromatography equipment
Detailed Description
About 21,200 out of 53,000 of patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), and 200,000 out of 600,000 of patients with Pulmonary Embolism (PE) die each year in the US alone. This high mortality would be significantly reduced if early diagnosi
