Outpatient Surgery

Outpatient Surgery

Outpatient Surgical Centers are growing in number and in popularity. As the variety of same-day procedures performed at these centers expands, so does the need for practical, reliable medical instruments. From operating suites to the PACU, Verathon offers devices that can help improve care, save time, and reduce costs. Outpatient Surgery
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.

Managing Postoperative Urinary Retention (POUR)

BladderScan bladder volume instruments can help in the PACU.

Among the concerns in the PACU is managing postoperative urinary retention (POUR).

New evidence-based guidelines suggest that patient care may be improved and POUR may be alleviated by recommending appropriate catheter removal combined with ultrasound bladder monitoring.1,2

BladderScan® ultrasound bladder volume instruments help diagnose and monitor urinary retention. They are quick, accurate, easy to use - no sonographer is required. They can help manage POUR and improve patient outcomes by reducing the duration of urinary catheterization, or avoiding it altogether.3

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.
