CARESCAPE Monitor B650

The evolution of

Critical Care:

supporting efficient and informed decisions.

In the Critical Care Unit, efficiency is paramount . You can’t afford to spend time
piecing together incomplete information or tracking down vital patient data in
multiple hard-to-reach systems. Your technology should support you by combining
monitoring data streams with access to cardiac records and other relevant data to
help you make the best care decisions.

The CARESCAPE™ Monitor B650 makes it fast and easy to access the vital patient
details you need, right when and where you need them. At its foundation are GE’s
clinical algorithms, widely recognized for their leading cardiac and ventilation
assessment capabilities. In addition, the CARESCAPE Monitor B650 collects data
from multiple systems and delivers it in an intuitive, integrated display that results
in fewer repetitive tasks, faster access and quicker analysis. As a result, caregivers
are armed with the decision support information required to deliver appropriate,
expedient patient care.

The CARESCAPE Monitor B650
combines the features and
functionality you need to provide
exceptional care:

ECG

Informed weaning assessments

• Critical information, including spirometry

with gas exchange, measured airway
pressures, volumes, and calculated values
at the patient’s airway deliver reliable,
vital measurements to help assess patient
readiness for ventilator weaning

• SpO

and CO2 parameters provide data for

2

oxygenation and ventilation calculations

• Preconfigured monitor profiles and screen

layouts allow you to assess data quickly
when consulting or considering next steps

• Unity Network

combined with the CARESCAPE Monitor B650,
allows for ventilator data integration
