“COVID-19 created an intense focus on patient and staff safety. Blood gas testing with the Epoc system allowed the respiratory team to obtain samples and receive results without ever having to leave the room,” Patricia DeJuilio, clinical director of respiratory care services, Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital, said in a press statement from Siemens. “There was tremendous value in having results within minutes while never leaving the bedside of a critically ill patient and, with COVID-19, never having to transport a sample outside of a COVID-19 safe environment, which was of critical importance to maintain everyone’s safety.”
