The CASMED Fore-Sight Tissue Oximeter, purchased with a Solano Community Foundation grant, has been shown to decrease post-operative brain injuries. Prior to the purchase, NorthBay had one device permanently affixed in the cardiovascular operating room, and now this second device will be portable for surgical teams to move it where it’s most needed.
While not necessary during routine surgeries, the CASMED is crucial for extremely sick patients or those with life-threatening traumatic injuries.
“It is so sensitive, anesthesiologists can see in real time if there are any dangerous [oxygen] fluctuations,” said Filip Roos, MD, director of cardiac anesthesia for NorthBay Healthcare.
