Patient temperature management system P3/P6

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a brain injury disease with a high mortality rate. Therapeutic Hypothermia is regarded as a core treatment for HIE as it helps by maintaining a lower core temperature in newborns for up to 72 hours, effectively lowering mortality by slowing down apoptotic processes and reducing oxygen dependence in the brain. Traditional hypothermia treatment relies heavily on the use of manual cooling and rewarming methods such as ice packs, in which temperature control is not only inaccurate, but also leaves much room for human error. The current trend in the treatment of HIE has shifted heavily towards Precise Temperature Control by means of cooling devices that provide caregivers with Streamlined Procedures throughout the entire treatment process, hence, the P6. Combining Intelligent Temperature Control and Comprehensive Monitoring for Smart HIE Treatment Management. Although Therapeutic Hypothermia may be a core treatment for HIE, maintaining a low temperature for long periods of time can manifest in a lot of complications due to the effects of hypothermia on organs, such as acquired infections, seizures or arrhythmias, etc. Timely detection of these complications can be a matter of life-or-death, hence, the perfect monitoring solution is necessary. i-Servo™ Temperature Control System P3/P6's intelligent closed-loop temperature control system automatically adjusts water temperature based on the monitored patient’s core temp. The monitoring of the patient (both skin & core), water temperature ensures the safety throughout treatment, rewarming and maintenance while also avoiding other complications caused by long-term hypothermia.
