Lifesaving Technology

Orange Regional uses advanced technological resources while providing care in the ICU. The following equipment may be used during a patient’s stay:

Monitor

A monitor is used to record heart rate, heart rhythm, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate.

Patient’s Bed

Computers

The hospital uses bedside computers to document patient care.

Compression Stockings

These are used to keep optimal blood flow from the patient’s legs to their heart.

This machine includes a face mask and is used as a non-invasive support for breathing difficulties.

Ventilator

A life support machine used to help patients breathe.

IV Pump
