Improving care for critically ill older infants and
toddlers
 Until recently, hospital staff treating older infants and toddlers in PICUs had
little choice of bed for their young patients, which presented problems when complete
access was needed for difficult procedures such as tracheal intubation or putting in
vascular lines.
The Doernbecher Critical Care Crib, produced by HARD Manufacturing Company, addresses the
specific problems encountered in PICUs.
The crib is designed to interface seamlessly with other ICU technology, such as mechanical
ventilators, invasive monitoring equipment, IV pumps and tubing. Tubing and wires are
easily accessed from the patient to IV pumps and monitors with one IV pump bracket on each
corner.
Multiple attachments for monitors, charts/graphs, medications and other equipment have
been added as a feature of the crib.
All four side rails have the EZ-Lift system, an innovation from HARD Manufacturing now
standard in all their critical care cribs. The EZ Lift System allows caregivers to raise
the crib sides without using the John Hopkins handle.
The sides may be placed in five positions, from fully down to fully raised. This gives
complete access to the child and improves the quality of care.
The sides are light and easy to handle with a noise suppressing mechanism developed for
neonatal patients. Nurses and parents find it easier to manage the rails, significantly
reducing the chances of carpal tunnel syndrome.
The Riley Access on each end gate at the head and foot of the crib gives quiet access to
the patient. Additionally, two specially designed bars on each side, called Portland
Access, can be temporarily opened creating a 5” gap for managing patient lines.

External pacing is now an option
Artema now offers external pacing as an option to its Cardio-Aid 200 defibrillator.
Cardio-Aid 200 is a defibrillator line designed to meet the variety of needs in the
hospital environment where user skills and defibrillation experience may vary
significantly from the general medical ward to the cardiac care unit.
Cardio-Aid 200 offers true AED simplicity in use with clear text and voice guidance
according to international guidelines. When the cardiac team arrives, flipping the front
flap reveals buttons dedicated to manual defibrillation, synchronised defibrillation,
internal defibrillation, and the new
external pacing option.
Cardio-Aid 200 offers fixed as well as demand pacing with clear visual indication on the
ECG display. Each delivered pace pulse is carefully monitored by an independent security
system to assure accurate and safe pacing under all circumstances. The ECG signal can be
monitored via a separate ECG cable or via a connected patient monitor.
Cardio-Aid 200 is available for either paddles or electrode operation. All units can be
used with external paddles, internal paddles, and combined defibrillation / pacing
electrodes.

Microphone
replaces the stethoscope
 Terumo’s
ES-P110 replaces the stethoscope with a very sensitive microphone built into its cuff.
This measurement method is based on the Korotkov method (K) to monitor the sound of blood
flow and obtains precise blood pressure readings.
Additionally, the artery-oscillation signal (O) is utilised, which improves the
reliability of the results.
Because it uses these methods, the OK Sensor can consistently deliver precise
measurements.

Stretcher is unbeatable for performance
 The
astonishing combination of technology and design make the Spencer Cross Stretcher Trolley
stand out,
both for its aesthetics and for its performance.
It is the concept of shape applied to the Cross thatensures immediate, almost intuitive
handling. Logic and instinct are brought together in the approach to this user-friendly
device.
The stretcher is made with lightweight stainless steel and high density polyethylene. The
Cross is practical, as well as comfortable to use. Bigger and stronger wheels make it
easier to move patients on rough terrain, as stability and balance are enhanced.
The side bars are safely locked thanks to a quick-release mechanism, which prevents
accidental unlocking. One of the most important features of the Cross is its flexibility:
the agile stretcher can be adapted to any type of vehicle, thanks to a patented system for
adjusting the trolley at its loading point.
