Deltex Medical Group plc announce the addition of a major new hospital in the USA. The hospital is a University Teaching Hospital in Mid-Atlantic sales territory and the flagship site within a six hospital healthcare system. It is ranked amongst the top ten hospitals in the USA. The hospital evaluated ODM thoroughly in 150 patients undergoing either colorectal or urology surgery in November and December 2016. In colorectal surgery, where it had already established all other key aspects of a multi-disciplinary enhanced recovery surgical programme, it demonstrated around a 10% reduction in mean length of hospital stay. In urology surgery it demonstrated a c. 20% reduction in mean length of hospital stay. The clinicians leading the quality improvement project informed the Company that a previous evaluation of an alternative cardiac output monitoring technology to guide fluid management had, in contrast, shown an increased length of stay.
