The Board of Directors of Milestone Medical Inc. _WAR: MMD, “the Company", “the Issuer"_
today reported a study titled: “Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Two Labor Epidural
Analgesia Techniques; Real-Time Pressure Sensing Technology and Traditional Technique,"
has been electronically presented for the American Society of Regional Anesthesia
and Pain Medicine _ASRA_. The poster was originally planned for live presentation
at the 45th Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting, which
was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The scientific session and poster sessions
were placed on-line so that the researchers could present their findings. Further
details of the study will be forthcoming and will be submitted for publication in
a premier peer-reviewed medical journal.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the CompuFlo® Epidural
System with DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology® versus the traditional loss of
resistance technique within the labor and delivery setting in medical centers.
The data was presented by the primary investigator, Professor Rovnat Babazade, MD,
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Department of Anesthesiology, who
concluded that this is the first study in the literature that reports cost of the
real-time pressure sensing technique and the traditional LOR technique in parturients
requesting labor epidural analgesia. Compared to the traditional LOR technique, real-time
pressure sensing technology costs about 504 dollars less per hospital stay on average.
The study included the review of some 4,483 deliveries and ensuing complications from
performing the epidural procedure, which included accidental dural puncture, post-dural
puncture headache, interventional epidural blood patch and need for extended hospital
stays and readmissions. A cost effectiveness analysis was estimated for the total
cost of the hospital stay for delivery and readmission for these procedures. A cost
reduction when using CompuFlo® Epidural System was demonstrated by the analysis conducted
in this study.
The Board of Directors of the Issuer announces that this is the first major study
to clearly validate the cost benefits of the CompuFlo® Epidural System. In addition
to the important safety advantages of our instrument, this study compared the rate
of accidental dural puncture, a common complication of traditional epidural anesthesia.
Accidental dural puncture is a significant contributor to increased hospital costs,
prolonged hospitalization and the need for further treatment and interventions. This
study, which has been submitted for publication in a leading peer-reviewed medical
journal, provides valuable third-party validation of the cost benefits of our instrument.
The Board of Directors of the Company believes this study will be an important tool
as it presents the value proposition of the instrument to hospitals across the country.
