You Know You’re a Critical Care Professional When…
- You’ve woken up in a cold sweat because you dreamed the patient’s CVP was trending down.
- The phrase “just a quick blood draw” means you’re about to run an arterial line, a central line, and a PICC line sample, all while starting a new drip.
- You see a car with a flat tire and your first thought is, “They need a fluid bolus.”
- You use a coffee cup to measure urine output because the Foley bag’s broken.
- You get an urgent call from the hospital at 2 a.m. and your only thought is, “Did I remember to chart that morning’s neuro exam?”
- You start every new patient encounter by mentally calculating their SOFA score.
- Your idea of a “good day” is one where you only had to start three pressors and no one self-extubated.
- You refer to your most unstable patient by their room number and not their name.

INSPIRA ART500The INSPIRA™ ART500: A New Hope for Patients in the ICU
Every year, 20 million patients are placed on mechanical ventilators in the ICU. This often requires them to be put into a coma with a tube down their throat, a process that carries significant risks and medical complications. The INSPIRA™ ART500 is a new technology designed to help these patients stay awake and avoid mechanical ventilation altogether.
How It Works
The INSPIRA™ ART500 delivers oxygen directly into the blood while removing carbon dioxide. This innovative approach aims to raise oxygen saturation levels to 95% or higher in just minutes. By treating patients without mechanical ventilation, the technology could reduce the risk of lung infections and injuries.
The device also continuously monitors blood parameters in real-time. By tracking small volumes of blood, it can rapidly detect life-threatening medical conditions and provide doctors with crucial data to assist in decision-making.
By challenging the traditional foundations of life support, the INSPIRA™ ART500 offers a new path for patient care—one that could potentially reduce a patient’s time in the hospital.
