1. A ventilation system for use in treating a patient, the system comprising:
- a user interface comprising;
a plurality of selectable user inputs, each arranged in a different location on the user interface and corresponding to a predetermined patient size, wherein each selectable user input corresponds to a customized treatment protocol for providing a ventilation procedure, wherein the customized treatment protocol provides a preset respiratory rate, tidal volume, and positive end expiratory pressure delivered to the patient based on the predetermined patient size;
a plurality of displays, each arranged in a different location on the user interface and configured to simultaneously display respiratory rate, tidal volume, and positive end expiratory pressure; and
a selectable input configured to be actuated prior to initiation of any customized treatment protocol by a processor;
a patient port adapted to fluidly communicate with the patient;
a ventilator port that fluidly communicates with a ventilator mechanism for facilitating the ventilation procedure administered to the patient via the patient port;
a port that includes at least one valve configured to control a direction of flow, wherein during administration of the ventilation procedure the at least one valve allows fluid flow between the ventilator port and the patient port; and
an audio output device.

Abstract
Medical techniques include systems and methods for administering a positive pressure ventilation, a positive end expiratory pressure, and a vacuum to a person. Approaches also include treating a person with an intrathoracic pressure regulator so as to modulate or upregulate the autonomic system of the person, and treating a person with a combination of an intrathoracic pressure regulation treatment and an intra-aortic balloon pump treatment.

18. A ventilation device for use in treating a patient, the device comprising:
-
a housing comprising; a patient port adapted to fluidly communicate with a patient'"'"'s airway; and at least one valve configured to control air flow through the patient port; a processor disposed within the housing; memory disposed within the housing; an audio output device; and a user interface disposed on the housing and comprising; a plurality of selectable user inputs, each arranged in a different location on the user interface and corresponding to a predetermined patient height, wherein each selectable user input corresponds to a customized treatment protocol for providing ventilation to the patient based on the predetermined patient height stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to provide a ventilation procedure by controlling airflow through the patient port at least partially through the at least one valve; and a selectable input configured to be actuated prior to initiation of any customized treatment protocol by the processor, wherein the customized treatment protocol provides a preset respiratory rate, tidal volume, and positive end expiratory pressure delivered to the patient based on the predetermined patient height, and wherein the user interface comprises displays configured to indicate the respiratory rate, tidal volume, and positive end expiratory pressure. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A ventilation device for use in treating a patient, the device comprising:
-
a housing comprising; a patient port adapted to fluidly communicate with a patient'"'"'s airway; and at least one valve configured to control air flow through the patient port; a processor disposed within the housing; memory disposed within the housing; an audio output device; and a user interface disposed on the housing and comprising; a plurality of selectable icons, each arranged in a different location on the user interface and corresponding to a predetermined patient height, wherein each icon corresponds to a customized treatment protocol for providing ventilation to the patient based on the predetermined patient height stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to provide a ventilation procedure by controlling airflow through the patient port at least partially through the at least one valve; a plurality of displays, each arranged in a different location on the user interface and configured to simultaneously display respiratory rate, tidal volume, and positive end expiratory pressure; a plurality of user-selectable inputs arranged on the user interface adjacent the plurality of displays, the user-selectable inputs configured to allow a user to adjust respiratory rate, tidal volume, and positive end expiratory pressure; and a selectable input configured to be actuated prior to initiation of any customized treatment protocol by the processor, wherein the customized treatment protocol provides a preset respiratory rate, tidal volume, and positive end expiratory pressure delivered to the patient based on the predetermined patient height.
