Arming NICU Clinicians With Etiometry’s Risk Index Data for Personalized Care and Better Outcomes
Article appeared in Neonatal Intensive Care Fall Issue 2024
NICU staff at a major children’s hospital made the decision to wean an infant from high-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) to room air. After the change, concerns were raised about the patient’s respiratory status, and it was proposed that
the HFOT be restored. However, by leveraging data from the Etiometry platform, the clinical team was able to show that the patient was tolerating the wean and did not require escalation. This avoided prolonging the infant’s exposure to high concentrations of oxygen and peripheral equipment, which have been shown to increase the risk of complications.
It’s just one more example of how using Etiometry can provide timely clinical data to guide both efficient escalation and safe de-escalation of care—in this case the weaning process…
