BP Assist: Digital Control to Prevent Low Blood Pressure Complications During Surgery

Directed Systems正在开发BP Assistate，这是一种数字产品，将减少手术室(OR)手术期间低血压的并发症。大手术期间的低血压是常见的，会导致手术后的并发症，这对患者的预后不利，对医院来说也非常昂贵。据估计，每年要花费英国国家医疗服务体系GB 1b的费用。BP Assistate是一种支持麻醉师的产品。它连接到现有的床边监护仪以及药物和液体输注系统。在临床医生的指导下，BP Assistate能够检测到即将发生的低血压，并通过自动输注降压药物来防止这种情况的发生。一旦在手术室被证实，这项技术将适用于重症监护病房(ICU)的患者，那里的医生并不总是在床边。BP Assistate是一个高度创新的概念，将把麻醉护理带入21世纪，应用最先进的数字技术来自动化关键任务，但仍在密切的临床医生监督下。它有可能极大地改善许多患者的治疗结果，降低医院成本，提高效率，并释放资金用于NHS和其他医疗系统的其他用途。这一商业机会是全球性的，这将使我们能够在国际医疗技术市场创建一个主要参与者，在英国和其他国家雇用有才华的员工。“

"Directed Systems is developing BP Assist, a digital product that will reduce the complications of low blood pressure during surgery in the operating room (OR).Low blood pressure during major surgery is common and results in post-operative complications, which are bad for patient outcomes and very costly to the hospital. It is estimated that they cost the NHS £1b per year.BP Assist is a product to support anaesthetists. It connects to the existing bedside monitors and drug and fluid infusion systems. Under the direction of the clinician, BP Assist is able to detect impending low blood pressure, and prevent this happening by automatically infusing blood pressure drugs. Once proven in the OR, this technology will be applicable to patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), where a doctor is not always present by the bedside.BP Assist is a highly innovative concept that will take anaesthetic care into the 21st century, applying state of the art digital technology to automate key tasks, yet under close clinician supervision. It has the potential to substantially improve outcomes for many patients, reduce hospital costs, improve efficiency and release funds for other use in the NHS and other healthcare systems.The business opportunity is global, which will allow us to create a major player in the international medical technology market, employing talented staff in the UK and in other countries."
