Real-time Cardiorespiratory Status
to Improve Patient Care

Use O2 Deficit to make home/observe/admission decisions

Use O2 Deficit to predict the need for escalated care like supplemental oxygen

Identify hypoxic condition and sources of hypoxemia to direct treatment

Use O2 Deficit for differential diagnosis e.g., NSTEMI vs PE

Determine cardiorespiratory severity using O2 Deficit (non-invasive A-a gradient)

Add clarity in diffuse chief complaints like shortness of breath or chest pain

Used with quick response team to help identify the chief problem

Use O2 Deficit as a surrogate for V/Q matching

Objective, repeatable test improves monitoring patients over time

Risk stratify surgical patients for postoperative pulmonary complications

Preoperative evaluation to determine oxygenation strategies

Establish baseline measurement prior to anesthesia

Monitor for residual shunt from the intra-operative period

Early identification of atelectasis leading to hypoxemia

Monitor for post-anesthesia hypoventilation

Confirm gas exchange efficiency before patient discharge

Reduce avoidable postoperative pulmonary complications

Confirm pharmacological effectiveness

Identify hypoxic condition and sources of hypoxemia to direct treatment

Complement ultrasound to determine severity using O2 Deficit (non-invasive A-a gradient)

Establish clear baseline patient measurement prior to procedure

Confirm degree of the blockage being treated

Identify secondary blockages with changes in gas exchange

Maintain stable V/Q matching before ending the procedure

Confirm pharmacological effectiveness before patient discharge

Use oxygen deficit to approximate pulmonary vascular pressures

Manage fluid buildup (edema) in heart failure to avoid readmission
