Emergency Medicine

Emergency Medicine

In the Emergency Department, physicians and other emergent care specialists face tough, often life-threatening cases across a spectrum of patients – from newborns to the elderly.

GlideScope®, BladderScan® and AortaScan® instruments are designed to help rapidly evaluate and manage the cases you see in the Emergency Department every day.

Airway Management
Glide Scope

Airway Management

The GlideScope Cobalt AVL offers an onboard video tutorial to help train staff.

Establishing and maintaining a patent airway is a critical part of clinical care. Airway management is complicated by factors—such as trauma, obesity, and other anatomical anomalies—that clinicians must overcome in patients of all sizes and weights. That’s why reliable, practical airway tools for a wide range of circumstances are so important.

GlideScope® video laryngoscopes are designed for 1st Pass Success. They provide a clear, real-time view of the airway and tube placement—ideal for difficult airways.

With configurations designed for a wide range of patient weights and sizes—from preterm to morbidly obese—GlideScope® video laryngoscopes let airway professionals choose the right tool for their patients.

Assess Urinary Retention
Bladder Scan

Assess Urinary Retention

BladderScan measures PVR.

In patients experiencing acute or chronic urinary retention, diagnosis and treatment can be aided with the use of noninvasive portable ultrasound.

BladderScan® 3D ultrasound instruments help diagnose and monitor urinary retention. They are quick, accurate and easy to use. They can help improve patient outcomes by reducing the duration of urinary catheterization, or avoiding it altogether.1 This can help reduce the rate of catheter-associated UTIs and the complications that can result.2,3

Some models have onboard video tutorials.  Measurements can be done by staff - no sonographer is required. Exam results can be printed for physician review or exported to an EHR system.

Measuring Abdominal Aortic Diameter
Aorta Scan

Measuring Abdominal Aortic Diameter

The AortaScan AMI 9700 measures abdominal aortic diameter.

In an aging population, an increasing number of patients may be at risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). AAA occurs in about 10% of men over 65 who have risk factors for vascular disease (e.g., obesity, smoking, etc.).1

Rupture of an AAA is most often fatal, causing up to 30,000 deaths a year in the U.S. Early diagnosis and surgical management, however, have been shown to decrease mortality1

The AortaScan® AMI 9700 instrument which measures abdominal aortic diameter can help physicians identify the presence of AAA. Quick, noninvasive, and accurate it is easy for staff to use -- no sonographer is required.
