Why bring the patient to the scanner…
Providing CT scans of the head for critically ill patients, e.g. from Intensive Care Units (ICU) is crucial but often challenging.
. Patient transports from the ICU to the radiology department are associated with complex logistical hurdles that can require up to five staff members.
. Inhouse patient transports bear an increased risk of complications for patients: >71% of ICU patients experience adverse events during transport specifically to the CT suite.
. Scanning of ICU patients at the radiology department impacts CT availability for other patients by blocking off more than double the time of conventional exams.
SOMATOM On.site will fundamentally change the way you care for your ICU patients suffering from acute and critical head conditions.
