OPUS-CriticalCare™ is a browser-based comprehensive ventilator management system that will assist physicians, respiratory therapists, and nurses in managing, validating, and improving ventilator weaning practices while providing significant clinical cost savings.

The system enables clinicians to improve outcomes and define best weaning practices while reducing a patients time on the ventilator. As a result, the patient spends less time in ICU, providing significant clinical cost savings to the hospital.

Retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes within the system enables users to validate the effectiveness of Respiratory Care Protocols while refining and improving clinical management to achieve the most efficient and effective outcomes.

OPUS-CriticalCare™ used in the critical care enviornment will:

• Enhance protocol compliance with "branching logic" next step recommendations
• Accelerate the weaning process
• Improve analysis with real time and historical trending of weaning results
• Monitor current clinical condition data, alerts, ventilator alarms, vent wave forms, flow/pressure, and flow/volume loops
• Refine protocols based upon medical evidence
• Reduce clinician to clinician variability
