Emergency Medicine
Sophisticated and effective emergency medicine procedures require
intravenous access. IV access is the standard for obtaining blood
for analysis and for delivery of therapy in emergency settings.
In the "Site Selection and Device Placement" section
of the Infusion Nurses Society's 2006 Standards of Practice,
it states that "the nurse should consider using visualization
technologies that aid in vein identification and selection."
Until now, there was minimal technology available to assist
in obtaining IV access. Hospitals which once extensively used
IV access teams are dissolving them due to cost-cutting pressures.
The acuity of illness in the aging population is more prevalent
than ever, and the need for rapid IV access becomes crucial.
The VuStik 3S System's vein identification technology enables
quick access in this critical environment.
Consider all of the instances when the VuStik
3S System® could
make a difference in the ED:
- Pediatric Advanced Life support
- Advanced Cardiac Life Support
- Advanced Trauma Life Support
- Rapid obtaining of blood samples for bedside and clinical laboratory evaluation
- Rapid IV access for treatment of pain
- Rapid IV access for procedural sedation and analgesia
- Rapid IV access for rapid sequence intubation
- Rapid IV access for time dependent medical/surgical therapies
