PiCCO

PiCCO Technology is the easy, less invasive and cost-efficient tool for determining the main hemodynamic parameters of critically ill patients

  • Bedside quantification of pulmonary edema
  • Quantification of cardiac preload
  • Several arterial access points inc. for pediatric patients
  • Precise, calibrated Cardiac Output – beat-to-beat
  • Volumetric preload parameter instead of filling pressures
  • Afterload, contractility, volume responsiveness

Indications

  • Septic shock
  • Cardiogenic shock
  • Traumatic shock
  • ARDS
  • Severe burn injuries
  • Pancreatitis
  • High risk surgical procedures
  • The PiCCO Technology combines arterial pulse contour analysis using the innovative PiCCO algorithm with precise calibration via transpulmonary thermodilution
  • Arterial access via femoral, brachial and axillary artery
  • Application in children / pediatrics with special 3 french PiCCO catheter possible
