Spectros T-Stat Model VLS 2.0 by https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood en-us 2023-09-25 20:17:26 UTC 2023-09-26 18:34:03 UTC hello@padlet.com The Spectros T-Stat Model VLS 2.0 is a continuous tissue oximeter. This device detects early tissue ischemia. A white LED light is used to illuminate the tissue in the capillary bed, which then captures the tissue oxygenation rate on the monitor. The new 2.0 model was designed in 2020 to make it more durable, have improved data information, and to have a battery versus wall plug in for easier transportation. kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2719991018 https://www.spectros.com/tstat]]> 2023-09-25 20:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2719991018 How the T-Stat machine is used. kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2719991348 2023-09-25 20:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2719991348 T-Stat Large Sensor kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720007544 https://www.spectros.com/tstat]]> 2023-09-25 21:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720007544 T-Stat Small Sensor kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720007806 https://www.spectros.com/tstat]]> 2023-09-25 21:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720007806 T-Stat Endoscopic Sensor kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720008061 https://www.spectros.com/tstat]]> 2023-09-25 21:09:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720008061 T-Stat Oral Sensor kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720008337 https://www.spectros.com/tstat]]> 2023-09-25 21:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720008337 T-Stat Machine Image kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720011628 https://www.aaihealthcare.com/t-stat]]> 2023-09-25 21:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720011628 PROS: 1.) The T-Stat oximeter can monitor tissue perfusion without causing harm to a newly placed flap. 2.) Real-time oxygenation levels of the tissue is readily available. 3.) There is opportunity to have the oxygenation results from the machine sent directly to the surgeons phone to keep them informed on flap quality. kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720035415 2023-09-25 21:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720035415 CONS: 1.) The T-Stat machine can be costly. 2.) The machine will need some sort of continuous power source. 3.) The new use of the t-stat machine in a facility will require staff education and resources. kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720036092 2023-09-25 21:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720036092 My Top 5 Strengths kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720060182 My strengths are discipline, futuristic, relator, consistency and learner. I will use my discipline to make sure deadlines are met to get this device moved into the clinical setting. I will also use consistency to keep working on completing tasks. A project like this would require a lot of planning for the future, which I would gladly take on. I will also work well with my colleges and build good relationships. Lastly, I will be open to learning along the way.

Abraham- He will keep information organized, but will be okay if things need to be reorganized. 
Izzy- She will collect and keep all the data together. 
Sheila- She will help the group overcome any large obstacles or set backs.
Chelsea- Will be the leader of the project, and will be on top of the overall flow of the team.]]> 2023-09-25 22:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720066136 Rationale kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2720075390 I choose to do my current innovation on the T-Stat machine because we currently use this machine at my job. We use the T-Stat oximeter for our DIEP flap breast patients. Patients come up to the floor from surgery with this machine being used, so their flap is being continuously monitored. We use the T-Stat Oximeter because of its accuracy, which leads to better patient outcomes. The T-Stat oximeter gives the staff and surgeon a good representation of flap quality.

Being able to see the oxygenation rates of the flap in real time aids in the assessment of my patients. Surgeons also receive continuous updates on the oxygenation levels, which keeps them informed. An invention like this is so important because flaps can be rejected by the body. So early detection of ischemia in a flap is crucial for good patient outcomes. ]]> 2023-09-26 15:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2721536009 What is a DIEP Flap? kyra_silverio23 https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2721579994 2023-09-26 16:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kyra_silverio23/dp1q080kr4lmwood/wish/2721579994
