Anesthesia
Patients depend on you. You can depend on us.
In the hands of the anesthesiologist, life hangs in the balance. Whether in the OR, ER, or perioperative environment, the patient depends on you, and the surgical team relies on your expertise to keep the patient stable. In such routinely critical situations, you need equipment you can count on that delivers the highest functionality and reliability. We understand. Our equipment is designed for superior performance under stress so you can be best prepared for the unpredictable moments that can arise when your patient is under anesthesia.
The Vital Nature of Normothermia
The effects of hypothermia have been well documented. Intraoperative hypothermia can increase cardiac morbidity, blood loss, infection risk, procedure time, and length of stay. Specifically, inadvertent perioperative hypothermia has been shown to increase hospital length of stay by 20-65% and increase risk for transfusion.2,3 Even minor hypothermia delays post-anesthetic recovery.4 Maintaining normothermia reduces time to extubation, facilitating fast-tracking patients to the PACU.5,6
How We Help
Precision Patient Temperature Management
Helping you keep your patients stable even during long surgical procedures, Allon® lets you maintain patient temperature in real time, on a graphical display. Allon, in combination with the flexible and versatile ThermoWrap® garment, effectively warms patients throughout the entire perioperative continuum.
Safe, Effective, and Bubble-free Rapid Fluid Resuscitation
Maintaining intraoperative normothermia, preventing core hypothermia, and maintaining hemodynamics are top of mind when performing fluid volume resuscitation. The Belmont® Rapid Infuser RI-2 provides you with a simple, safe, and effective solution for warm fluid delivery, from routine to massive transfusion situations.
At Belmont, our job is to facilitate yours. As you continuously assess and monitor patient vitals, the RI-2 tracks and displays fluid infusion information so you can act fast. Through the touchscreen display, you can watch real-time infusate outflow temperature, line pressure, and total infused volume. Our Rapid Infuser detects and removes air bubbles before they reach the patient line, automatically, so you can focus on caring for the patient.
Common Applications for Use of Rapid Infusers
- Blood loss due to trauma and surgery
- Liver transplantation surgery
- Vascular surgery
- Complicated obstetrical cases
- Aneurysm repairs
