The results demonstrate that continuous patient monitoring with Portrait Mobile resulted in alarm data suitable for optimization of ward default values and further refinement on an individual basis seems likely to improve usability. The data was presented during the ASA 2023 Annual Meeting in San Francisco (Abstract #A1143).\n\n\nThe COSMOS (Continuous Ward Monitoring with the GE HealthCare Portrait Mobile Monitoring Solution) Phase 1 study enrolled 100 post-surgical patients who had respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate monitored continuously with Portrait Mobile.* The results demonstrate that continuous monitoring of these vital signs with Portrait Mobile produces data to drive alarm threshold configuration within the ward, optimize actionable alarms, minimize non-actionable alarms, and minimize alarm fatigue. Alarm optimization is essential to reach a balance of detecting patient deterioration without burdening caregivers with non-actionable false alarms.\n\n\nUndetected patient deterioration, particularly post-surgery, can lead to hazardous yet preventable consequences, with 30-day mortality after surgery representing the third leading cause of death globally.1 The uninterrupted flow of data and continuous measurement of vital signs can help alert healthcare providers to a patient’s decline as it is happening, enabling timely intervention before a patient deteriorates.\n\n\n“Most patients recovering from surgery have vital signs evaluated every 4-6 hours. We know that intermittent monitoring misses many vital sign abnormalities,” shares Principal Investigator Daniel Sessler, MD, Michael Cudahy Professor and Chair of Outcomes Research at Cleveland Clinic. “Our analysis identified alert thresholds that identify potentially serious abnormalities with...
