Receives a Prestigious “Top Abstract” Award at the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society (PCICS) International Meeting
Miami, December 12, 2016—Etiometry, a pioneering leader in next-generation patient monitoring, received a “Top Abstract” award at the PCICS International Meeting for, “Using a High-Fidelity Physiologic Monitoring System to Evaluate a Clinical Protocol for Post-Operative Single Ventricle Congenital Heart Disease.”
The abstract illustrates the tremendous value that high-fidelity data capture brings to the evaluation of the effectiveness of clinical guidelines. It summarizes the results of a joint study between a major Boston pediatric hospital and Etiometry that evaluated the use of the FDA-cleared Etiometry T3 Visualization & Data Aggregation Software to track and record a patient’s physiological state for the purpose of assessing compliance to a clinical protocol as it relates to outcomes.
According to Etiometry COO Evan Butler, “This work demonstrates that the high-frequency, high-fidelity data capture in our T3 Software allows for novel analysis of clinical protocols. It shows how the Etiometry Platform provides unique insight into the effect of guidelines on clinical practice by capturing objective and clear evidence of how patient management is affected by introducing a new standard of care.”
The lead author was Dr. Michael Goldsmith, a pediatric cardiology Fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital, and it was co-authored by Boston Children’s Hospital Pediatric Cardiac Intensivists Dr. Joshua Salvin and Dr. John Kheir and Etiometry’s COO Evan Butler and CTO Dimitar Baronov, PhD.About PCICS

How Documentation, Length of Stay and Capacity Shape Cardiac Surgery Margins
What four years of CABG data from one cardiothoracic ICU suggest about each. Most patients recover from coronary artery bypass grafting along a familiar path: extubation, vasoactive weaning, transfer to the floor, discharge. For some, the postoperative course brings respiratory failure, acute kidney injury or cardiogenic shock. Those complications shape the patient’s recovery, and they […]
What Continuous Physiologic Data Reveals About Cardiogenic Shock
A retrospective analysis compared cardiogenic shock staging built from charted values with staging built from continuous data. The differences were clinically meaningful. In one patient’s record from the analysis, the chart shows a mean arterial pressure of 71 mmHg, and an hour later, 66 mmHg. Read on their own, the two values suggest a patient […]
When Cardiogenic Shock Goes Undocumented: The Clinical and Financial Cost
A missed or unrecorded diagnosis affects the patient first, and the hospital’s ability to care for the next patient soon after. In a busy cardiac ICU, cardiogenic shock is often managed before it is named. Pressors are titrated, labs are trended and the team responds to what the patient’s physiology is telling them. But the […]
