Experience Freedom from sedation
You can now obtain ABR data without sedation or anesthesia, thanks to Vivosonic‘s patented digital signal-processing techniques. Infants can even be feeding and young children playing during the test, although more active patients may require longer testing time.
Avoiding sedation is of paramount importance – clinically and economically: The patients would not be subjected to the associated risks, while the costs can be saved in the health care system.
Patients who were not candidates for sedation, and thus for ABR, now can be successfully tested and provided the care they need.
Avoiding sedation is of paramount importance:
- The average US$800-2000 cost of an anesthetic can be avoided, as can be the cost of treating the complications resulting from sedation.
- Will inevitably mean less liability for the institution.
- It would not be unreasonable to estimate that cost savings nationwide could approach $1 billion annually.
