Wireless ventilator reporting
First Claim
1. A medical ventilation monitoring system, comprising:
- a patient ventilation unit defining an airflow path, the unit arranged so that when the unit is applied to a patient, the airflow path is in fluid communication with the patient'"'"'s airway, the patient ventilation unit including;
an airflow sensor positioned to sense the presence of ventilation airflow to or from the patient, and a communication link; and
at least one processor arranged to communicate with the ventilation unit by the communication link, the at least one processor configured to;
provide an initial treatment protocol for providing care to the patient, wherein the initial treatment protocol being executed includes applying ventilation at an initial ventilation rate and at an initial ventilation volume,receive information from the airflow sensordetermine an updated treatment protocol, wherein the updated treatment protocol being executed includes applying ventilation at an updated ventilation volume different from the initial ventilation volume, or at an updated ventilation rate different from the initial ventilation rate, the updated treatment protocol being based, at least in part, on the information from the airflow sensor; and
provide feedback to a rescuer regarding proper administration of ventilation to the patient based, at least in part, on the information from the airflow sensor.

Abstract
A medical ventilation monitoring system is provided. The system includes: a patient ventilation unit defining an airflow path, and arranged so that when the unit is applied to a patient, the airflow path is in fluid communication with the patient'"'"'s airway. The patient ventilation unit includes: an airflow sensor positioned to sense the presence of ventilation airflow to or from the patient and a communication link. The system also includes at least one processor arranged to communicate with the ventilation unit by the communication link. The at least one processor is configured to: provide an initial treatment protocol for providing care to the patient, receive data regarding a current condition of the patient from the ventilation unit, and determine an updated treatment protocol. The updated treatment protocol includes applying ventilation at an updated ventilation volume or at an updated ventilation rate based on information from the airflow sensor.
