1. A ventilator monitoring system comprising:
- a plurality of ventilators, wherein at least two of said ventilators are heterogeneous types, said ventilators having data;
a first network access point in communication with one of said plurality of ventilators, said first network access point passing requests to and receiving data from said one of said plurality of ventilators;
a network in communication with said first network access point;
a second network access point in communication with said network;
a server in communication with said second network access point, said server comprising;
a dedicated ventilator application program for each type of heterogeneous ventilators; and
a listener/pollster;
a database in communication with said server, said database comprising data from said plurality of ventilators; and
a browser in communication with said server;
wherein said listener/pollster transmits requests to and receives data from said plurality of ventilators through said second data access point and passes requests to and data from said dedicated ventilator application program, wherein said data acquisition application passes data to and receives data from said database, and wherein browser receives data from said server and displays data to a user.
