Hemodynamic leveling

[mattcastens]

Anybody out there use laser levels to level your PA catheters? If so, what company do you go through? I'm looking to contact some product reps, but haven't had any luck on the internet.

Thanks!

wow, i am going to have to try the laser pointer as well.

we use the old bulky carpenter levels.

i did my internship in a different icu, they had the transducers that were attached to the pts arms.

do those of you who use those, have any problems with them.?

how about cost?

I've seen an antenna with a bubble level at the end of it to level and use as a pointer to get to the screen. I think it's called a Levalign?? Not sure but the travel nurse that had it wouldn't let me get too close to it. Good luck

We also use the expandable antenna with a bubble level in the middle. It seems to work well, though, we with everything, it does leave some area of intrepretation.

We have laser levels in our lab. To be truthful, not many people use them. I don't remember which company we use. We were given them by the manufacterer when we switched companies. I'm thinking Baxter, but I'm not sure.
