New Platform Provides Solution for Patients to Walk in Intensive Care Unit
Cincinnati, OH — May 24, 2011 — Smith & Schaefer, a regional dealer manufacturer representative, was named as an authorized dealer for the LIVENGOOD Ambulation Platform. LIVENGOOD Medical, the leader in Mobile Patient Care Environments, announced the addition of an Ambulation Platform specifically designed for the intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital. The LIVENGOOD ICU Ambulation Mobile Patient Care Environment (MPCE) is the only platform on the market that consolidates all needed medical equipment on one mobile unit and is approved for use by the patient according to the UL60601 standard for the Patient Vicinity.
Smith & Schaefer is one of eight United States authorized dealers for the LIVENGOOD Ambulation Platform.
“We pride ourselves on providing innovative mobile environments that improve patient outcomes and enable the highest quality patient care,” said Joseph Livengood, MD, FACS, a trauma surgeon and CEO of LIVENGOOD Medical. “There’s a clear connection between mobility and the prevention of complications that can impact a patient’s recovery. Our ICU Ambulation platform organizes the patient care equipment into one mobile area and provides for ambulation that is easy, safe, practical, and requires minimal staff assistance.”
The LIVENGOOD ICU Ambulation MPCE provides significant benefits to the hospital and patient, including:
• Organized consolidation of equipment – Combines equipment traditionally located on booms, IV poles, carts, the bed and the floor.
- Reduces risk of premature removal of devices (PROD)
• ICU ambulation that is easy, safe and practical – Requires minimal staff assistance, only 1 to 2 staff needed, versus the typical 4 to 5
- Patient uses the MPCE for support and mobility
- Wheelchair attaches to Platform and is immediately available and secure for sitting
- Only 1 nurse is needed to assist the patient back into the room with the MPCE-wheelchair unit
• Simplifies transport – All equipment is located on one structure
- Equipment remains on Platform at all times and moves with the patient, wherever they go
• Unmatched safety for the Patient Vicinity in accordance with the UL60601 standard.
