LINET MULTICARE X Turn to Better Care

DISCOVER THE EFFECTS OF FRAME-BASED LATERAL TILT

Improve Pulmonary Outcomes
The frame-based lateral tilt guided by Electrical Impedance Tomography provides support for pulmonary complications of patients and provides immediate feedback on the treatment.

Moving Immobile Patient
Microshifting, gentle, and precise step-by-step lateral tilt, enables the positioning of haemodynamically unstable patients while maintaining their spinal alignment.

Easier Patient
Transfer
Frame-based lateral tilt enables easier and smoother patient transfer.

Mobilizing Patient Early
The lateral tilt ensures ergonomic position nose over toes and the Mobi-Lift® handle reduces the effort of standing up for the patient as well as the number of caregivers required to support early mobilization.

Safe Patient Handling
Frame-based lateral tilt reduces the risk of injuries for caregivers and makes routine care tasks easier and safer.

IMPROVE PULMONARY OUTCOMES

Individualized support of pulmonary outcomes by the use of programmable Automatic Lateral Therapy (ALT) and Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT).

CHALLENGE

• Mechanical ventilation complications— Lung overdistension, barotrauma, lung collapse, and blood desaturation
• The daily costs of ventilating patients equate to:
• $1,909 – 2,304/day in the US 2— £1,738/day in the UK 3
• 1,580–€1,654/day in Europe 4
• 40% Therapy (ALT) guided by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT ).5
• ALT guided by EIT allows precise ventilation management that is

The synergy between the two complementing technologies (AIT & EIT) creates a closed-loop system that allows individualized medical intervention by precise positioning with immediate feedback by real-time visualisation of the effect of therapy.

INDIVIDUALIZED RESPIRATORY CARE

• Initial status. The impedance (that reflects aeration) of each lung is provided in a separate graph for clarity – these values may overlap. The oscillation is tidal volume.
• The upper lung (left) gains volume due to increased transpulmonary pressure (Ptp). Adequate Positive End-Expiratory Pressure is necessary to prevent the lower lung from derecruitment.
• After the return to supine, the lung may lose some volume but is still recruited relative to the initial status. The red arrow represents the volume gain.
• Now the right lung is the upper lung and gains volume due to increased (Ptp). The blue arrow represents the volume gain of the right lung relative to the initial status.

Lateral Tilt Physiology

• Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) and Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia (VAP) are common complications in critically ill patients. This can lead to the collapse of the lungs or lobes of the lung and non-homogeneity of the lungs.
• In lateral tilt, the same principles apply. Hence the upper lung tends to be more distended. (illustrated schematically and in EIT image) This distending can serve as an opening maneuver. However, adequate PEEP must be set to prevent the lower lung from collapsing.
• Consequently, the alveoli in the lower (dependent) regions are less distended than ventral ones and may even collapse. On the contrary, the upper (non-dependent) regions may be overdistended.

Solution Attributes

Prone Position
New mattress mode allows you to select a setting designed to aid prone nursing which can also be combined with Automatic Lateral Therapy.

Postural Drainage
Thanks to the combination of reverse Trendelenburg and lateral tilt, airway hygiene (postural drainage) can be easily performed.

EARLY MOBILIZATION
Our unique Early Mobilization Program with features such as Microshifting and Mobi-Lift® helps patients recover earlier and saves significant costs to the hospital.

CHALLENGE

• Up to 17 % of muscles atrophy after 3 days of immobility 6
• Prolonged bed rest is a leading risk factor for developing several physical and psychological complications that delay the recovery process 6
• Increased costs for the hospital

PRESSURE INJURY

PREVENTION

The new fully-automatic Optimal Immersion mattress solution Opticare® X and 3-cell alternating Virtuoso® surface family bring advanced premium pressure care.

CHALLENGE

• The overall prevalence of pressure injuries at ICU lies somewhere around 27% 9
• Pressure injuries (PI) can happen within 10 minutes of immobilization for patients with high-risk development of PI 10
• Patients with HAPI have a higher number of readmissions and higher mortality, mainly with category 4 mortality is around 22%. Treating HAPI can triple hospitalization costs 11

SOLUTION
Addressing the challenging topic of pressure injuries with a combined solution of Multicare® X and fully automatic mattress Opticare® X allowing the adjustment of the settings with the press of a single button from one screen.

Virtuoso® Modes

FALLS PREVENTION

Sophisticated features such as the side rails concept and i-Brake® support patient’s recovery in every situation.

CHALLENGE

• Patient falls are the most common adverse events reported in hospitals leading to up to 1 million patient falls in the USA per year 14
• Injury from falls can prolong hospital stay by 11.5 days on average 15
• Almost every third fall in the hospital leads to injury and the average cost of injury fall is $ 14,056 16
• Almost 75% of falls are unwitnessed 17

SOLUTION
Profound side rails concept, Multizone Bed Exit Alarm or i-Brake® – those are just a few solutions contributing to patient safety.

Predicts situations when the patient wants to leave the bed by monitoring their motion activity in two modes.

• Constant gap
• 45cm height allowing safe use of the highest mattresses
• 3/4 non-restrictive side rails
• Safety double mechanism — Siderails down sensors
• Zoned Cover® designed to keep the centre of the mattress slippery with more “grippy” sides facilitating safe patient transfer.
• Automatically engaged brake mitigates the risk of patient fall caused by an unstable bed.
• Disabling all patient controls with the press of a single button reduces the risk of unwanted positioning of the bed by the patient.

IMPROVE PATIENT EXPERIENCE
Features such as Ergoframe®, Opticare® X Mobile Mode and USB integration can support patients physically and psychologically, improving their well-being and enhancing recovery.

CHALLENGE 18

•  Sleep deprivation with noise
• Restriction of movement caused by perfusion lines, tubes and cables
• Pain & Anxiety

SOLUTION

SAFE PATIENT MOVING & HANDLING
Frame-based lateral tilt allows easier patient manipulation and reduces physical strain applied on the caregiver’s back.

CHALLENGE

• The average MSD claim costs are reported between $6,190 to $93,225 (US) 19
• The average low-back claim costs ranged from $2,270 to $14,235 (US) 19
• 40% of sickness/absence in the NHS was related to musculoskeletal conditions in 2019 (UK) 20
• 47% back pain/injuries are the most frequent MSD of health care workers leading to a high increase of lack of time or staff 21
• Need to reposition patient up to 35 times during 12h shift 22

SOLUTION
67% Decrease in the average force needed to turn the patient from the supine position onto their side when using lateral tilt.12
