The v-TAC Software can convert Peripheral Venous Acid-Base and Blood Gas values to Arterial Acid-Base and Blood Gas values, with an accuracy and precision useful in clinical practice, as from Arterial samples.
The v-TAC Software may reduce the pain associated with assessment of acid-base and oxygenation status, maximize the information obtained from peripheral venous blood and allow venous measurements to be presented as more commonly interpreted arterial values.
"we believe that the routine assessment of
venous blood gases as indicated (the v-TAC method) as it provides, if
associated with pulse oximetry, more information on the general patient
homeostasis than the arterial blood alone" [6], stated by leading experts in Anesthesia and Intensive Care.
v-TAC allows the healthcare professionals to reduce cost per blood
sample
The cost of monitoring patients can be
significantly reduced by doing venous samples instead of arterial punctures
[5]. In essence, by implementing the v-TAC Software, it will allow the
department to save 32% of the cost/sample, compared to arterial sampling.
In contrast, this would also allow the departments to increase the
number of Venous blood samples by 32% - using the v-TAC Software to convert the
Venous values to Arterial values and still operate within the same budget.
