Evolving into centers where only the sickest patients are admitted, acute care hospitals in the U.S. are assigning an increasing proportion of their beds to critical care patients.  Products for drug delivery and infusion therapy, airway management and ventilation, point-of-care blood testing, temperature management, temporary cardiopulmonary support, and transfusion management are often required for the care of these patients.  The U.S. market for critical care patient management products was valued at more than $3.0 billion in 2002.  Growing at a compound annual rate of 6.9%, sales of these products are projected to reach an estimated $5.9 billion in the year 2012.

This dynamic report from Medtech Insight includes analyses of products, technologies, current and forecast markets, competitors, and opportunities in the U.S. market for critical care patient management products. 

Covered topics in this report include adult and pediatric ventilators; anesthesia and respiratory masks; blood pumps; blood salvage systems; blood substitutes; critical care unit staffing; electronic, glass, liquid crystal/dot matrix, temporal artery, and tympanic thermometry products; gravity infusion systems; hyperthermia and hypothermia management devices; infusion pumps/administration sets; intra-aortic balloon pumps; issues affecting critical care delivery; laryngeal mask airways; manual resuscitators; neonatal ventilators; oxygenators; plasma volume expanders; point-of-care blood gas/electrolyte, cardiac marker, coagulation, and glucose testing products; ventricular assist systems; and vascular access devices such as central venous catheters, midline catheters, peripherally inserted central catheters, and short peripheral catheters.
