Etiometry Honored at Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society Conference
News and Press Releases
BOSTON, December 23, 2014 — Etiometry received a “Top Abstract” award at the 2014 Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society (PCICS) Conference. Our abstract reported the first retrospective study of the Risk Analytics technology, and was selected out of more than 200 abstracts submitted to the conference. We would like to thank our co-authors, Dr. Melvin Almodovar from Boston Children’s Hospital, and Dr. Peter Laussen from Toronto Sick Kids Hospital.
The abstract, titled “Risk Analytics and Outcome Prediction in Neonates Following Cardiac Surgery” assessed the ability of the Risk Analytics to predict a composite poor outcome and biomarkers for inadequate oxygen delivery. The study was conducted on 274 neonates who had undergone cardiac surgery within the first 30 days of life – a population which costs the U.S. healthcare system approximately $1.4B a year, and represent some of the most difficult patients to manage in the ICU.About Etiometry

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 […]
