Not all ventilators enhance your clinical power. Engström Carestation does.

For years Datex-Ohmeda has been right next to you in the PACU and OR. A partner and trusted name in critical care. Now, as part of GE Healthcare, we bring you the natural progression of our critical care experience and success.

The Engström Carestation is the fi rst critical care respiratory carestation to offer integration throughout the care process. A complete expandable solution for the NICU thru the pediatric and adult ICU to the Step-down unit. A fi rst in ventilation and exclusively from GE Healthcare.

The Engström Carestation helps make your job easier, faster and more accurate. It makes sense to get a clear view and provide tailored therapy.

SpiroDynamics Monitors tracheal pressure regardless of ventilator setting

Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)The lung volume at the end of a normal expiration

The Engström Critical Care Ventilator measures lung volume and pressure, resulting in a clear, accurate picture of pulmonary dynamics enabling more uniformed decisions.

Only ONE ventilator truly measures up... SpiroDynamics and FRC INview.

Tracheal pressure can be measured by SpiroDynamics, regardless of ventilator setting

GE Healthcare’s SpiroDynamics is a new bedside inline tracheal pressure measurement system that allows tracheal pressure and intrinsic PEEP measurements to be monitored continuously, irrespective of ventilator settings.

Ability to monitor tracheal pressure regardless of ventilator setting

Dynostatic curve providing estimated Alveolar pressure

Inflection points may be visually detected

Enhanced detection of intrinsic PEEP due to ventilation settings or secretions

FRC INview – Breakthrough technology providing the first ever measurement of FRC without interrupting ventilation

Measurement of FRC or the volume of gas in the lungs after expiration is a breakthrough technology for GE Healthcare. Typically, FRC has been difficult to measure on ventilated patients without interruption of the ventilation procedure or the use of additional, non-medical gas sources.

Direct measurement of end expiratory lung volume on mechanically ventilated patients

True measurements of the effectiveness of lung recruitment maneuvers

Calculations based on real-time lung function, without interruption of ventilation therapy

The decisive difference

Integrated ventilation and monitoring

The Engström Carestation enhances your clinical power with advanced monitoring capabilities:

Gas Exchange Measurements

End-Tidal CO2 (ETCO2)

CO2 Production & O2 Consumption

Metabolics

Energy Expenditure

RQ Value

Ability to continuously monitor or set trend duration

Patient Spirometry

Ability to measure at the patient connection, at the ventilator or directly inside the lungs with the SpiroDynamics

Intrinsic (Auto) PEEP measured dynamically

Respiratory mechanics come standard with 3 types of loops

Ability to store and recall loops for later use

Pulmonary mechanics

Auxiliary pressure sensing port, continuous trending up to 336 hours or 14 days and an advanced nebulizer system are just a few more reasons to choose the Engström Carestation.

What learning curve?

Reducing your learning curve has always been our motivation throughout new product development. The Engström Carestation is no exception.

Attention to detail and adaptability to your critical care environment were our primary design concerns. The result is a respiratory carestation with easy to learn, intuitive operation, which enables you to provide tailored therapy.

The Datex-Ohmeda user interface will look familiar to you as it is shared with our patient monitoring and anesthesia equipment. That allows you to learn once and use everywhere. Customized screens for viewing waveforms, trends, gas monitoring, metabolics and more are other Engström Carestation standard features. If you’re currently trying to access unorganized, scattered information, then you’ll appreciate the simplicity and time efficiency of the Engström Carestation’s user interface design. Show your desired data instead of searching for it .

Flexible and adaptableWe realize that not every hospital environment is going to use identical settings. To assist you in setting the Engström Carestation for each new patient, we’ve included the ability to quickly switch to your facility’s standards. Using passwords to establish defaults, each hospital will have the capability to adjust the ventilator system defaults from alarm and mode settings to patient population to desired waveform color.

For convenience and safety, pressure and fl ow waveforms are always visible on the screen, even when adjusting screen visuals. You can customize and set your own screen for your patient with the Engström Carestation’s task-oriented software. Your critical information is just a glance away.

Stay current with upgradeable operating system software. Using memory card technology allows for future upgrades like: modalities, procedures (automated tasks), diagnostic techniques and more. All of which help cut the learning curve, saving time and saving money. Now that’s fl exible.

It’s good to have options

You wouldn’t accept an a.m. radio in your new luxury sedan...

You simply wouldn’t accept inferior standard features in your ventilator. Utilizing Aerogen’s OnQ™ aerosol generator, the Aeroneb Pro and Aeroneb Solo Micropump Nebulizers produce a fine droplet, low-velocity aerosol without requiring propellants, compressors or ultrasonic elements. The Aeroneb Pro and Aeroneb Solo won’t affect ventilator parameters during use or refill, and operates inline or independently for infants through adults. We know you know the difference.

With power comes mobility

It’s also good to know that you can quickly make a great respiratory carestation even better with add-ons and optional accessories.

Integrated multiple modular monitoring capability is just one advantage. Grab a Datex-Ohmeda patient module. Walk across the hall, plug it in and continue work. It’s that simple. Move modules or the entire bay. Think of it as critical care plug and play.

The Engström Carestation is a “Future Ready” system with a multitude of ports including: USB, ethernet and more. That’s called preparing for your future and thinking ahead.

Cost is no object, unless you happen to be the one paying

You’ll come to appreciate the value and efficiency of the low maintenance Engström Carestation.

Maintenance-free paramagnetic (O2) Sensor comes standard and never needs to be replaced.

The Quick-release expiratory valve is easy to clean and fully autoclavable to 134°C.

No cables and automatic connections make cleaning between patients a hassle-free process.

Three levels of calibration, the first two are automatic – freeing up your staff’s valuable time.

Only one PM check required annually with no PM recommended replacement parts.

Engström Carestation’s safety features. Breathe easier.Sophisticated power management control allows the Engström Carestation to prevent accidental shut-off or power interruptions. By sensing the patient is connected, the Engström Carestation waits until it is placed in standby before powering off. Battery backup power comes standard on the Engström Carestation. Automatic patient detection and prioritized, graded, and stored alarms ensure that you can breath easier.

Only ONE Ventilator truly measures up

The Engstrom Carestation provides flexibility and control that allows you to spend more time with your patients - even the smallest ones. It brings together science, technology and business to help you standardize your level of respiratory care.
