Administrators: Critical Care Therapies™: Kinetic Therapy™
Kinetic Therapy™
Kinetic Therapy™ is the bilateral turning of a patient to > 40° per side. Kinetic Therapy™ is utilized for pulmonary complications associated with immobility such as ARDS, pneumonia and atelectasis.  These complications can increase the length of stay in the hospital/ICU resulting in increased use of resources and costs.1  Fortunately, Kinetic Therapy™ can help improve patient outcomes and help lower the cost of care.

*Based on individual case study (Henbest, M. BioDyne™ aids in Treatment of Atelectasis. Kinetic Therapy™ Case Study #6, 1988; 15-D-108: 1.). Results are not a guarantee of individual patient outcomes.  Individual results may vary based on patient and facility conditions and circumstances..

Kinetic Therapy™ can help improve clinical outcomes and lower overall cost of care.  By continuously rotating critically ill patients from side-to-side to at least 40°, Kinetic Therapy™ helps prevent and treat pulmonary complications associated with immobility.  Kinetic Therapy™ can also be cost effective.  Cost analysis studies have shown a savings of up to $6,695 per patient compared to standard ICU bed care2.

More than 50 published studies recognize benefits of Kinetic Therapy™, which may include mobilization of pulmonary interstitial fluid, improved oxygenation and increased perfusion.

Kinetic Therapy™ has changed the standard of healing for critically ill patients and their caregivers.
