New Clinical Study Shows Unprecedented Results of ART MEDICAL's smART+ Platform, Including Significant Reduction in Length of Stay, Ventilation Days in ICU and Improved Feeding Efficacy
NETANYA, Israel, July 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ART MEDICAL, an Israeli medical device company committed to its vision of detecting and preventing intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired complications such as aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition and acute kidney injury, unveiled unprecedented results on the performance of its smART+ Platform in a randomized comparative study published by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism's (ESPEN's) Clinical Nutrition.
- The study demonstrated the smART+ Platform can maximize feeding efficiency, reaching nearly 90% of the targeted nutrition goal and improve patient outcomes by reducing both ICU length of stay and length of ventilation by 3.3 days.
- To offset feeding interruptions, the system calculates the resulting deficit and delivers gradual compensation to better reach the prescribed 100% nutritional target.
- Over a two-year period, a clinical study was conducted to assess critically ill patients who were mechanically ventilated and enterally fed.
- Nutrition, while considered important, was never directly correlated to ICU length of stay," said Liron Elia, founder and CEO of ART MEDICAL.
