1. A method of integrating the operation of a ventilator and a monitoring device to perform a respiratory therapy procedure, method comprising the steps of:
- providing a control unit in communication with both the ventilator and the monitoring device;
detecting the activation of a respiratory therapy procedure at the control unit; and
generating a modification signal from the control unit to automatically modify an operating condition of the monitoring device and the an operating condition of the ventilator in response to the activation of the respiratory therapy procedure.

Abstract
A method for integrating a ventilator device with a monitoring device and other medical devices that allows the function of the monitoring device and medical devices to automatically change based on initiation of a respiratory therapy procedure. In addition, modification of behavior on the part of the ventilator is automatic in response to activation of a medical procedure from the medical device or the monitoring device.
