State-of-the-art Ultrasound Machine

Dăruiește Viață has purchased a new ultrasound machine for the ICU of Elias Emergency Hospital, in order to improve the treatment of critical patients and optimize medical procedures. 

The machine can be used to: 

• guide invasive procedures (e.g. spinal taps, thoracenteses, etc.);
• evaluate the cardiac and hemodynamic function;
• monitor pulmonary edema and evaluate the lungs;
• diagnose the patients without moving them to other departments.

What our investment brings

The ICU is one of the busiest departments of the hospital, treating approx. 1,500-2,000 patients per year, with various pathologies, like cardiac and respiratory failure, trauma or multiple organ failure.

The new ultrasound machine ensures:

• shorter hospitalizations, through quick diagnoses;
• fewer complications of the invasive procedures;
• less discomfort for the patients during medical procedures;
• continuous monitoring of critical patients;
• lower morbidity and mortality in the ICU

A medical team made out of 14 ICU doctors, 80 residents and 30 nurses will benefit from the new equipment, for shorter procedures, improved precision and a smaller risk of infection.

Investment: approx. EUR 70,000
