Paediatrics
The ODM+ is the world’s first dedicated paediatric cardiac function and fluid status monitor, to measure both flow and pressure.
ODM+ can be safely used to guide fluid management and monitor haemodynamic changes in paediatric patients, using the minimally invasive paediatric Doppler probe (KDP72), placed orally in sedated or anaesthetised patients. The optional connection of an arterial line for pressure monitoring mode is now available, offering quick, easy calibration at the touch of a button.
Designed for surgical and intensive care applications, ODM+ and the paediatric probe can be utilised in the following instances:
- Sepsis
- Major abdominal surgery
- Laparoscopic surgery
- Transplant procedures
- Cardiac procedures
- Trauma procedures
- Spinal surgery
A paediatric specific nomogram, based on patient height, takes into consideration the unique anatomy and physiology of the paediatric population. As with adult patients, the calibrated Pressure Monitoring Mode allows for extended continuous monitoring in paediatric patients.
The ODM+ and paediatric probe are suitable for patients:
- ≥ 3kg
- ≥ 50cm tall
- < 16 years old
The KDP72 probe shaft has six depth markers visible through the transparent cover starting at 15 (cm) through to 40 (cm)
incrementing in steps of 5 (cm). These markers act as a guide to facilitate correct probe placement. Signals are normally acquired as shown in the following table.
