Datex-Ohmeda ADU Plus Carestation

Datex-Ohmeda ADU Plus Carestation

An integrated approach to quality patient care

The ADU Plus Carestation is an innovative approach to anesthesia delivery, which utilizes electronic control for both gas delivery and vaporization. This enables full benefit of the automatic data capture of care information management and minimizes manual documentation.

  • The intuitive Datex-Ohmeda user interface is common throughout the three major components of the ADU Plus Carestation – on the anesthesia delivery unit, the monitor and the anesthesia record keeper.
  • Data integration allows you to configure the data on full color screens – anesthesia delivery settings on one display and patient monitored values on the other. An additional display is available for integrated anesthesia record.
  • The ADU Plus Carestation can be linked, through the Datex-Ohmeda Anesthesia Monitor, to a network of other carestations and allows interface with the hospital-wide information systems.
  • Multiple product options and software-driven technology helps enable future upgrades of the system to suit your preferences.
  • Lightweight and portable Aladin™ Cassettes have no restrictions for tilting during storage or handling.

Broad range of patients

With the additional data provided by our Patient Spirometry™ and gas monitoring, the ADU Plus Carestation can provide a broad range of patient ventilation to help meet the needs of even the most demanding applications, including spontaneous breathing:

  • Pressure Supported Ventilation (PSV) with apnea backup helps to decrease the patient’s work of breathing and is able to be used with most LMAS. PSV sustains or enhances the patient’s tidal volume and helps to assist in maintaining normal etCO2.
  • Pressure controlled ventilation with decelerating, inspiratory flow.
  • Accurate tidal volumes down to 20 mL compensate for circuit compliance and fresh gas flow.
  • Patient-triggered SIMV has user selectable sensitivity and trigger window, with triggered breaths differentiated by color in a real-time pressure curve.

Ease of use

The ADU Plus Carestation is designed for ease of use. The turn-and-press ComWheel™ control and drop down menus are common to all Datex-Ohmeda Anesthesia System components.

  • Standard flow knobs help provide familiar fresh gas delivery.
  • The visual, multibreath, rising bellows help provide confirmation of breathing circuit integrity – a key safety feature.
  • Ease of use is based on the straightforward user interface and centralized, logical display of data.
