Expansion of the FluoroStore at Sahlgrenska University Hospital

The Sahlgrenska Neuro Intervention lab is world-class when it comes to acute stroke care. Their work relies on a tight chain of care where each minute counts to reduce future issues for each patient. The department’s work on improvement has been ongoing for many years, and for our Swedish readers, more details on their results can be found here: Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset i världsklass när det gäller vård av akut stroke.

The department sees FluoroStore as an important part of their work, and their first installation has been in use since 2010, with upgrades since then. We are now happy to have installed the expansion in 2022, covering the Neuro Intervention and Endovascular Abdominal Intervention labs.

These are the benefits described by Dennis Dunker, Chief Physician and Section Manager:

1. Black-box — a system you didn’t know you needed until it was too late. A life-threatening situation appears, but there is no installed system to record it, or if recording facilities exist, there is no time to start them.
   1. A completely automated system
   2. Works autonomously in the background; no manual intervention required
2. Easy navigation in the recorded material
3. Necessary to guarantee patient safety
4. Makes it easy to produce educational and presentation material
5. Combined with Bildteknik’s Central Server solution
   1. Cost-efficient storage, easy to access

We are happy that the staff at Sahlgrenska are eager to take part in developing not only themselves, but also FluoroStore. One example of this is that we are in the final phase of developing a function that gives clinicians the opportunity to perform live remote assistance.
