Continuous lateral rotation can benefit patients in the ICU

Critically ill and hospitalized patients can benefit from Continuous Lateral Rotation Therapy (CLRT).1 2 3 4 5 With its ability to alternate patient positioning continuously and gently, CLRT not only enhances lung function but also supports early mobilization and improves overall patient comfort. 1 2 3 4 5

In this whitepaper, Baxter presents evidence-based research demonstrating how CLRT, which is built into many of its beds and surface support products, helps patients with critical illness and prevents and treats pulmonary complications.

Some Insights You’ll Gain:

  • Enhanced Pulmonary Function: Learn how CLRT is designed to optimize lung ventilation.1 2 3 4 5
  • Reduction in Complications: Discover how continuous lateral rotation can help prevent common pulmonary complications.1 2 3 4 5
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Explore some of the economic benefits of implementing CLRT-enabled beds in ICU settings, including reduced hospital stays and lower treatment costs.6 7
