Doctors and scientists of the Center has started to work with the system ReDS (remote dielectric sensing) for measuring fluid volume in the lungs, monitoring and managing patients with cardiovascular and lungs pathology. Doctors will have an opportunity for a quick optimization of their patients’ treatment and reduce the amount of repeated applies for emergency care.
It is important to reveal pulmonary congestion in case of cardiac insufficiency for prevention cardiac decompensation. These are situations when all the symptoms (oxygen deficit, interruptions in the work of important systems and organs, a strong decrease in blood pressure, etc.) grow rapidly. This is life-threatening condition requiring urgent medical care.
For the further patient managing it is extremely important to reveal and define quantity of the congestion degree. Standard methods for assessing fluid congestion in case of heart failure include physical examination, chest x-ray, and measurement of B-type brain natriuretic peptide. However, these methods are relatively unreliable because they must be performed by an experienced physician, are subjective in interpretation, and have a number of limitations.
ReDS technology uses harmless electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength similar to that emitted by mobile phones. This allows you to make multiple repeated measurements, to conduct research right at the patient's bedside. As a result, ReDS gives an absolute indicator that reflects the percentage of fluid in the total volume of the lung. Contraindications to the use of the device are minimal (fractured ribs or the unhealed wounds at the site of the sensors), the measurement takes 45 seconds, and the procedure is absolutely safe for the patient and medical personnel.
We note that technology was initially designed to define biological objects indoors through walls and under the rubble of destroyed buildings. And later it was adapted for medical purposes.
