Expert Statements
John Beard, MD, anesthesiologist and Chief Medical Officer of Patient Care Solutions at GE HealthCare
“This research at the University of Michigan adds important real-world evidence of End-tidal Control use at scale and how it may help reduce fresh gas flows and anesthetic agent consumption.”
Douglas A. Colquhoun, MB ChB, MSc, MPH, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at the University of Michigan
“These findings suggest that End-tidal Control had a high adoption rate and, when used in real-world practice by anesthesia clinical teams it could translate to significant reductions in fresh gas flow resulting in projected cost saving and benefits for the environment.”
