Shock Index with Basic SQI
Value Proposition
Shock Index is the measure of heart rate divided by systolic blood pressure and is useful in predicting the severity of hypovolemic shock and hemodynamic condition. Despite being a valuable clinical tool, caregivers are forced to manually compute shock index using physiologic data from the monitors which creates a time and energy barrier. Signal Quality Index eliminates noisy data from the continuous computation of Shock Index, saving time and improving accuracy of real-time clinical decision making.
Competitive Advantage
In addition to ensuring a robustness in shock index computation, SQI-Lite also provides a severity assessment. Based on the values of computed SI, clinicians are able to categorize patients into three different severity levels: normal, moderate, and severe. The patients are continuously ranked in comparison to other patients being monitored in the same way, allowing caregivers to prioritize their most critical patients. Moreover, being able to analyze the past trends in a patient’s SI values can be very useful in assessing the patient’s hemodynamic condition.
