Overview:

The Logical Path to lung protection

CARESCAPE R860 is the new GE Healthcare Critical Care ventilator designed to improve ease of use
with a new generation of clinical excellence in Lung Protection.
The CARESCAPE R860 is the result of a research that covered extensive literature review, adjacent
industry programs and cooperation of intensive care experts. Clinician feedback highlighted the need to
simplify ventilator-user interaction in order to ensure protective ventilation.
Following this, usability tests evaluated the system usability score (SUS) and User Experience scale
(UX), demonstrating an intuitive user interface that can facilitate the use of innovative advanced tools.
Choose the view you prefer:
The new GE navigation concept opens up easily the accessibility to clinical data.
From menus to Views: CARESCAPE R860 replaces menus with “Views”. Different Views are
available at your finger tip displaying the simplest data to the more detailed and you can choose your
own view by simply pressing the appropriate icon to access the information you need at the point of
care.
Travel through past, present and future with a single touch:
CARESCAPE R860 Views are grouped from left to right in 3 timed logical workspaces: Past, Present
and Future. You can read patient history by swiping from left to right in a natural way: from admission
to discharge, from acute respiratory failure to completing the weaning phase.
The Past: on the left, the patient trends Views. By sliding a cursor on a main parameter it is possible to
expand all the related clinical data in order to deep dive with finer resolution. This event-centric
historical data keeping always the focus where needed, on the patient.
The Present: in the center, the breath by breath Views. Essential ventilation parameters, multiple
waveforms (up to 4), loops or combined data are easily accessible without re-configuring the ventilator
display.
The Future: on the right, clinical decision support Views. The clinical decision support workspace is
designed to help adjust ventilation settings for the future plus providing tools for weaning, Lung
Protection and nutrition assessment.
Protect the lungs:
Due to lung non-homogeneity, ventilation protective strategy needs a comprehensive solution. GE
CARESCAPE R860 offers different visual advanced tools to measure lung volumes, to check potential
recruitability and to titrate the optimal level of PEEP.

Lung Protection Strategy:
Lung Protection strategy: an integrated approach
The lung is a delicate structure that is highly sensitive. Mechanical ventilation can be detrimental
if too much volume or pressure is delivered. And patients affected by lung disease are highly
susceptible to ventilation-associated lung injury.1

A Lung Protection strategy can help ensure that different zones receive the treatment they need

CARESCAPE* R860 offers an integrated solution

The CARESCAPE R860 was designed with a simple and universal navigation scheme. The Lung
Protection tools calculate FRC, providing the clinician with data for determining the optimal
PEEP setting for the patient.
