Respiratory Failure

Respiratory failure occurs when PaO2 <8.0 kPa (60 mmHg)[1]

Respiratory Failure

Manual measurement of Respiratory Rate (mRR) can underestimate the severity of the patient’s status as RR may be compensating for poor gas exchange

Respiratory Failure

Electronic monitoring of Respiratory Rate (eRR) can indicate a patient trying to compensate up to 12 hours earlier than the standard of care (mRR and SpO2 alone). [11]

Respiratory Failure

Where Type 1 Respiratory failure is Low Oxygen <8.0 kPa (60 mmHg) and normal CO2 <6.0 kPa (45mmHg)

Respiratory Failure

Type 2 Respiratory failure is High PaCO2 (>6.0 kPa (45 mmHg) with potential for Loq PaO2 also <8.0 kPa (60 mmHg).[2]

Continuous and motion tolerant monitoring of respiratory rate (cRR) can trigger timely and meaningful interventions 12 hours before the deterioration event[2]

RespiraSense - the world’s first piezoelectric continuous respiratory rate monitor.

  • Early detection signs of a deteriorating patient.
  • Undetected patient deterioration can result in triple the length of hospital stay and double the cost of care.
  • Trend monitoring of respiratory rate can predict hypoxia and pyrexia.
  • Weighted vital signs often don’t provide substantial predictive value without continuous respiratory rate data.
