兩種新型重癥監護產品整合了一種噴霧系統，增加了臨床醫生解決呼吸困難的能力。

Engstrom Carestation是為醫生提供整合通氣與監測模塊（能夠測量患者特定參數）的第一種重癥監護呼吸系統產品。Aptaer Heliox輸送系統提供了非創傷性途徑來控制氣道嚴重壓縮的患者。兩種產品都是GE醫療保健公司產品。機械呼吸支持和霧化藥物療法是兩種治療呼吸困難最常用的治療方法。

兩種產品整合了Aerogen集團公司的Aeroneb Pro版本產品。Aerogen公司根據兩家公司的協議專門為GE度身定做了這個版本。Aeroneb Pro使用Aerogen的OnQ氣溶膠發生器，專門設計用來提高將霧化藥物輸送給機械呼吸患者的效率。

GE健康保健公司呼吸組總經理Paul Baumgart說：“這兩種包含Aerogen公司技術產品的投入使用幫助我們實現了這樣的承諾：即為提高患者治療提供一流的解決方案。”
 
Improved Aerosolized Drug Therapy
 
Two new critical-care products integrate a nebulizer system that offers clinicians ways to enhance the care of patients with respiratory problems.

The Engstrom Carestation is the first critical care respiratory product to offer doctors the ability to integrate ventilation with monitoring modules capable of measuring certain patient parameters. The Aptaer Heliox delivery system provides a noninvasive way to manage patients with severely compromised airways. Both products are from GE Healthcare (London, UK). Mechanical breathing support and aerosolized medications are two of the most common therapies administered to patients with respiratory problems.

Both products incorporate a version of Aeroneb Pro, developed by Aerogen, Inc. (Mountain View, CA, USA). Aerogen is supplying a customized version to GE for this purpose under an agreement between the two companies. The Aeroneb Pro utilizes Aerogen’s OnQ aerosol generators and is designed specifically to improve the efficiency of aerosolized drug therapy to mechanically ventilated patients.

“The introduction of these two products containing Aerogen’s technology helps us fulfill our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions to enhance patient care,” said Paul Baumgart, General Manager, GE Healthcare Respiratory Group.
