About LiDCO Group Plc
LiDCO is a supplier of minimally invasive hemodynamic equipment to hospitals, to monitor the amount of blood flowing around the body and ensure that vital organs are adequately oxygenated. LiDCO's products facilitate the application of hemodynamic optimization protocols for high risk patients in both critical care units and in the operating theatre.
Increasingly clinical studies are showing that the optimization of patients' hemodynamic status in high risk patients produces better outcomes and reduced hospital stay. LiDCO's computer-based technology, developed at St Thomas' Hospital in London, has been shown to significantly reduce morbidity and complications, length of stay and overall costs associated with major surgery.
Key Products:
|
LiDCOplus: a computer-based platform monitor used in the Intensive Care Unit for real-time continuous display of hemodynamic parameters including cardiac output, oxygen delivery and fluid-volume responsiveness (PPV% and SVV%) |
|
|
LiDCOrapid: a cardiac output monitor designed specifically for use in the operating theatre for fluid and drug management. The monitor enables anesthetists to get accurate and immediate feedback on the patient's fluid and hemodynamic status - a key measure of overall well-being before, during and after surgery. The LiDCOrapid provides: |
|
|
· |
early and rapid warning of hemodynamic change to aid choice of therapeutic route: fluid or drug |
|
· |
quantification of hemodynamic response, |
|
· |
guidance on effective delivery of fluids to ensure the right amount at the right time |
|
LiDCOview: an easy-to-use graphical display of historical LiDCOplus and LiDCOrapid hemodynamic data. |
|
|
LiDCO Unity Software: The software incorporated into LiDCOrapid v2 will allow the LiDCOrapid monitor to co-display Covidien's level of consciousness parameter and add the convenience of CNSystem's continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. This will address a growing requirement for non-invasive monitoring solutions that are more comprehensive and can effectively replace multiple single parameter monitors. |
|
All LiDCO monitors use single-patient disposables (sensors or smartcards) which provide an ongoing revenue stream.
