Reference Case: Neonatal ventilation and anesthesia therapy
The children's hospital Amsterdamer Straße in Cologne is one of the leading paediatric clinics in Germany. The hospital employs anaesthetists, who guide the smallest patients safely through dangerous operations. Dräger supports this through modern ventilation possibilities, during which small breathing volumes and carbon dioxide amounts can be measured securely.
Professor Dr. Frank Wappler, Head of the department of paediatric anaesthesiology at the paediatric clinic Amsterdamer Straße in Cologne has developed safe strategies for the ventilation and anaesthesia of premature babies with his team. The "Zeus IE" meant an extension of the possibilities for him. Professor Dr. Wappler and his colleagues cooperate closely with the device and service engineers of Dräger. Dräger is ready to help with consulting and actions and the physicians report their experiences during the use of "Zeus IE" to the service engineers: "We didn't want to bring intensive ventilation devices into the operating rooms because we want to fully take care of the children. Then, Dräger launched the suitable solution to the market with Zeus."
"The lung of premature babies is very vulnerable", cautions Dr. Jost Kaufmann, Consultant Paediatric Anaesthesiologist in the children's hospital in Cologne. "There is a risk of pneumothorax or intrapulmonary air accumulations for unadjusted ventilation." Another risk is a cerebral haemorrhage which can arise from just one hypo- or hypercapnia. The anaesthesia device "Zeus IE" by Dräger can help to protect from these dangers through an extremely exact measuring and adjustment of breathing volumes and the carbon dioxide exhalation. Kaufmann cautions: Anaesthesia of children requires a strong instinct, especially the anaesthesia of premature babies.
