Respiratory monitoring innovation for
improved patient care
The greatest indicator of patient deterioration is a change in respiratory rate
234 Million patients undergo a surgical procedure every year worldwide
A patient's most vulnerable time for apnoea is during post-operative recovery
Apnoea detection often relies upon intermittent visual observations or pulse oximetry alarms set at hypoxia limits
