Dr. Quadri begins by telling us about a new arterial sheath, the EndoPhys Pressure Sense Arterial Sheath, which enables real-time blood pressure monitoring in a number of different cases and advantages that it offers over arterial lines and cuff monitors. We also discuss specific indications for utilizing this technology, such as trauma, GI bleeds, stroke, fistulas, and other emergent arterial interventions requiring minute-to-minute monitoring.
We also breakdown the specs of the sheath, including its setup, calibration, placement, recorded measurements, and the accuracy of the read-outs when compared to those of past technologies. Dr. Quadri speaks on the cost and the overall value of the EndoPhys sheath. He concludes the episode by discussing new advancements in the technology such as improved device warmup times and a radial-specific sheath.
