Every second, all information at your fingertips.
Continuous monitoring of vital parameters is a cornerstone of hospital care: it enables early detection of any signs of clinical instability and allows for rapid, targeted, and effective intervention.
In critical care settings, multiparameter monitors and defibrillators are essential tools for clinicians, ensuring reliability, safety, and decision-making support in moments when every second counts.
Burke&Burke by Palex offers flexible, state-of-the-art solutions for any hospital environment, from MRI suites to high-acuity care units.

Neonatal warming

The first warmth where life is most fragile.

Sometimes life begins before expected, and the warmth of the womb is lost too soon. In these moments, technology welcomes the most fragile newborns into a protected environment, where temperature, humidity, and oxygen are carefully controlled to support them in their first, delicate moments of life. Our incubators and islands are a tailored refuge that safeguards the most fragile beginning of every story.

Therapeutic cooling

Protecting today, for the future of tomorrow.

When a newborn faces the first hours of life with a stressed nervous system, the body needs time to slow down the damage and begin recovery. Hypothermia therapy gently lowers body temperature, reducing cellular metabolism and interrupting the cascade of events that could compromise the child’s neurological development. A controlled, precise, and gentle intervention that gives the baby the space needed to recover.
In newborns affected by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, this therapy represents a critical window that opens within the first six hours of life and, if seized, can make a real difference for their future.

CFM Monitoring

Listening to the first signals of the brain.

Understanding the signals of a still-developing brain is a challenging yet crucial task. By identifying early warning signs, we can intervene more rapidly, limit potential damage, and protect neurological development during its most critical moments. CFM monitoring makes it intuitive to visualize, interpret, and therefore safeguard this delicate organ.

Neonatal resuscitation

A heart that wants to beat.

There are newborns who defy every limit—so small they can fit in the palm of a hand, yet already capable of fighting.

When a newborn has difficulty breathing or is not breathing independently, assisted ventilation is required, delivering a mixture of air and oxygen into the lungs to help initiate or maintain respiration.

Because even the smallest patient deserves the greatest chance.

Neonatal lung ventilation

The first breath does not always come on its own, but it must be supported with care.

Invasive ventilation

When a newborn’s lungs are unable to function independently, technology takes over. Breath by breath, an invasive ventilator replaces the patient’s respiration, ensuring the delivery of air and oxygen into the lungs and the removal of CO₂ through a tube inserted into the airways.

Non-invasive ventilation

For newborns who need support rather than replacement, non-invasive ventilation provides valuable and gentle assistance. It supports breathing from the outside, without inserting tubes into the airways, using nasal masks or nasal cannulas, reducing stress on the small patient and preserving their remaining spontaneous respiratory effort.

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)

Seeing the lung while it breathes changes the way we approach the patient.

Advanced respiratory monitoring with electrical impedance tomography provides a dynamic, real-time view of ventilation distribution directly at the patient’s bedside. A versatile technology, applicable across the entire care pathway: from critical care to respiratory rehabilitation, as well as in clinical research settings.
EIT supports faster, more targeted, and more informed decision-making, helping to personalize ventilation, optimize treatments, and improve the understanding of lung function across different clinical contexts.

Bilirubin measurement

A shade of yellow on a newborn’s skin can reveal a great deal. Neonatal jaundice is common, often physiological, but it can reach levels that require careful monitoring. Measuring bilirubin quickly and non-invasively means listening to these signals in time. A sensor on the skin, an immediate result, and a more informed clinical decision.

Phototherapy

A blue light that works while the baby rests, acting on the newborn’s skin to break down excess bilirubin and allow the body to eliminate it naturally. A simple, non-invasive treatment that restores normal levels and removes the risk that excessively high bilirubin could compromise the child’s neurological development.

Bedside testing

With you, close to you.

Neonatal body bioimpedance

Bioimpedance allows us to understand how a newborn is growing from within. In just a few moments, it provides a valuable window into body composition in a non-invasive and painless way, guiding nutritional decisions and enabling personalized care day by day, with the precision every small patient deserves.

Rapid test for prevention of antibiotic-induced hearing loss

Preserving the ability to hear.

Not all newborns respond to antibiotics in the same way, and identifying this early can be life-changing. A simple rapid test can reveal a genetic predisposition to hearing loss induced by some of the most commonly used antibiotics, helping prevent permanent and irreversible damage through more appropriate, individualized drug choices.

Aerosol therapy

Targeted medication, protected lungs… the revolution of precision in aerosol therapy.

Aerosol therapy using Vibrating Mesh Nebulizer (VMN) technology represents a significant innovation in clinical practice, particularly for the treatment of all patients across all modes of respiratory support (spontaneous breathing, high-flow oxygen therapy, non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation). Thanks to vibrating mesh technology with a palladium membrane, it enables efficient and effective delivery of inhaled drugs without any change in patient management, with strong scientific evidence supporting its use.

Burke&Burke by Palex is a partner of Aerogen®, a pioneer and global leader in vibrating mesh technology.

Active Humidification

Improving patient comfort with every breath.

The conditioning (heating and humidification) of respiratory gases is essential to maintain optimal airway function in all patient types across different forms of respiratory support (high-flow therapy, non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation, and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation).

Burke&Burke by Palex offers dedicated, state-of-the-art solutions for every patient type in any hospital setting.

High-Flow Therapy – High-Velocity Therapy – NIV

The first line of care in the management of acute respiratory failure.

Advanced non-invasive support solutions for the treatment of all spontaneously breathing patients across different hospital wards.

Burke&Burke by Palex offers tailored, state-of-the-art solutions for every patient type in any hospital setting.
