Testimonials

“This machine is saving lives, there are no two ways about it.”

Professor Brendan Smith, Anesthetist, Intensivist and Emergency Physician, N.S.W. Dept of Health, Australia

“USCOM has changed the way I look at the cardiovascular status of my patients.

It’s part of the initial shock evaluation and monitored regularly thereafter…. USCOM has now been established as the standard of care.”

Dr Akash Deep, Director of Paediatric ICU, King's College Hospital, London

“The USCOM device is a simple method of accurately and noninvasively measuring central circulation, a goal of cardiology for many years. The device has the potential to change the way we approach management of sepsis, heart failure and hypertension.”

Professor Malcolm West, Cardiologist, Mayne Professor of Medicine at The University of Queensland School of Medicine, Brisbane, Australia and Uscom Medical Advisory Board Member.

“I have used USCOM for over 5 years now on our very sick children, and use it to guide management. We are now beginning multi-centre, global research which will define the way USCOM is used in Paediatric Departments across the world.”

Dr Joe Brierley, Consultant Intensivist, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, London, UK.

“The USCOM device is really good; I use it in all my aneasthetics. I think there should be one on every ICU bed and on every anaesthetic patient.”

Dr Steve Woodford, Consultant Anaesthetist, circulatory researcher at Australian School of Advanced Medicine, and Uscom Investor,

“To parents and doctors this machine, USCOM, is priceless. This machine is thought to have saved baby Abbie’s life.
