i vs Valve PPM

The i-Perfuse mobile application is designed for clinical perfusionists, students and individuals who work in the realm of cardiac surgery. Features Include: -Adult and Pediatric Calculator (BSA, BMI, Patient Volume, Plasma Volume, Total Volume, HCT on CPB, Flow Rates) -SVR and PVR Calculator -Oxygen Delivery and Consumption Calculator -Pediatric Cannula Recommendations based on previous case experiences at our institution along with pressure/flow relationships -Searchable Drug Database with commonly used drugs that perfusionists are exposed to (Category, Description, Mechanism of Action, Site of Action, Cardiovascular Indications) -Multiple Choice Quiz -Common Equations and Normal Values -Perfusion News Feed

Valve PPM is an innovative mobile tool developed to support echocardiography professionals in their effort of assessing the functionality of implanted prosthetic cardiac valves. The application provides guidelines for assessing an already implanted valve (Check Valve Function) and for choosing a valve before implantation (Optimal Valve Selector). The algorithms behind the App have been derived after an extensive research of the published materials on the aortic and mitral prosthetic valve assessment. - Check Valve Function After selecting a particular valve type, the patient characteristics (weight/height) and the prosthesis actual parameters (peak velocity, mean gradient, VTI prosthesis, VTI LVOT and LVOTd), Valve PPM will provide the user with an answer regarding the normal function of the valve, the potential patient prosthesis mismatch or the intrinsic prosthesis dysfunction. - Optimal Valve Selector The user will be required to select a valve position (aortic/mitral) and the patient characteristics (weight/height) and Valve PPM will instantly indicate the minimum Effective Orifice Area (EOA) in order to avoid Patient Prosthesis Mismatch (PPM).
