Success Down Under

Located in the ‘city of churches’, that is Adelaide, Australia, the Women’s and Children’s Hospital is currently celebrating their first anniversary since becoming SLE ventilator users.
The Level 3 NICU has 16 bed capacities with an attached stepdown unit, 13 of the NICU beds have
the ability to be ventilated. They offer a retrieval service for all of South Australia, as well as the Northern Territory, (which, as you will find on any Australian map is a significant area to cover). The clinical practice incorporates conventional and HFO ventilation strategies and they have a growing focus to improve outcomes through the use of advanced ventilation and the lung protection that these modes provide.
As a former Infant Star and Drager user, they decided to upgrade their fleet of ventilators and purchased 9 SLE 5000’s since they found that the performance and user-interface complemented their highly regarded clinical practice well. They have since purchased a further SLE 5000 ventilator and two Inosys Nitric Oxide devices which have just been installed.
