Esophageal Manometry Redefined:

Precision for Better Respiratory Care

Technology for Advanced Respiratory Monitoring: Optimizing Care, Saving Lives, and Reducing ICU Stay.

Our Solution

Revolutionizing Esophageal Pressure Monitoring for Advanced Respiratory Care

The Challenge: Prolonged ICU Stay for Obese Patients

Obese patients face higher risks in intensive care, with prolonged mechanical ventilation and increased difficulty in weaning off ventilators.

Our Differentiators

reduce complications, and shorten hospital stays.

Purpose

Mortality of patients with respiratory failure and obesity was reduced by about 50% when mechanical ventilation was associated with the use of esophageal manometry and electrical impedance tomography.

Why Does This Happen?

Lack of objective criteria for clinical decisions in ICUs;
Prolonged stays in ICU, costing up to $30,000 per patient per day;
Ineffective weaning from mechanical ventilation, increasing infection risk and length of stay;
Patients with APACHE II scores >11, who undergo tracheostomy and reintubation, face higher mortality rates;
Incorrect ventilator settings leading to Ventilator-Induced Lung Injuries (VILI)
Low adoption of traditional esophageal manometry, due to being manual, time-consuming, and operator-dependent

Pneumdodrive Esophageal Pressure Monitoring

A medical device that monitors key characteristics of lung mechanics using a technique called esophageal manometry.

It brings automated, real-time, objective data to support critical decisions in the ICU — helping clinicians optimize ventilation, reduce complications, and shorten hospital stays.
