Smart. Innovation. At Critical Care Congress 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented demands on the critical care providers who are on the front lines of patient care. At Edwards Lifesciences, those challenges have only strengthened our commitment to providing you with leading educational resources and smart solutions that deliver the proactive decision support you need.
Join us at Critical Care Congress 2021 to see how we're innovating to help you individualize patient management and gain the powerful insights you need to shape critical decisions that lead to better patient care.

A Pathway to Individualized Hemodynamic Management-Incorporating Pressure, Flow and Predictive Parameters
7:00 - 8:00 a.m. CTTo attend this session, add it to your agenda from the Critical Care Congress program.
Details
Approximately one third of patients in the ICU experience shock, and studies have shown that hypotensive episodes can occur in over 50% of patients postoperatively1,2,3. Continuous advanced hemodynamic monitoring can provide additional information to guide individualized care1,4.
Exploring concepts surrounding pressure and flow management, this session will review current literature surrounding the use of continuous advanced hemodynamic monitoring for differentiating the cause of hypotension, introduce parameters such as the Acumen Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI), and review potential clinical applications through an expert panel discussion incorporating live Q&A.

Visit our virtual booth at the 2021 Critical Care Congress virtual exhibit hall to demo our suite of advanced hemodynamic monitoring solutions that can help you support critically ill and COVID-19 patients.
ClearSight system – now on HemoSphere platform
The noninvasive ClearSight system provides advanced hemodynamic parameters and continuous noninvasive blood pressure from a finger cuff, which can aid in hypotension management, as well as play a role in the early detection of sepsis, septic shock and other shock states.
Explore this noninvasive solution
Acumen HPI software with Acumen IQ sensor
Acumen IQ sensor unlocks this first-of-its-kind predictive decision support software, which detects the likelihood of a patient trending toward a hypotensive event.*
*A hypotensive event is defined as MAP <65 mmHg for a duration of at least one minute
Get predictive decision support
Swan-Ganz catheter, now with FastCCO algorithm
The Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter offers a comprehensive hemodynamic profile delivered by a single catheter. Now available with the new FastCCO algorithm, the Swan-Ganz catheter provides CO/SV parameters every 20 seconds to help you make proactive decisions for critically ill patients.
