First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for deriving and displaying relationships among patient medical parameters, the system comprising:
- a data acquisition processor for acquiring a plurality of patient medical parameter values from different sources, the acquired patient medical parameters being related to a particular physiological process;
a data processor for calculating derived patient medical parameters related to the particular physiological process from the acquired patient medical parameter values and for applying precedence rules to the acquired and derived patient medical parameters, the precedence rules establishing priority of the sources depending on reliability of the sources; and
a display for displaying the acquired and derived medical patient medical parameter values according to the established priority of the sources, with the source with the highest priority being displayed as primary source.

Abstract
A system and method for obtaining and deriving medical data related to patient inspiratory and cxpiratory flows and for displaying the data. A data acquisition processor acquires patient medical data related to inspiratory and expiratory volume from a ventilator. A data processor maps the data related to inspiratory and expiratory flow onto a flow data object. A display displays the flow data object comprising inspiratory objects for displaying information representative of the inspiratory flow and expiratory objects for displaying information representative of the expiratory flow.

18. A method for deriving and displaying patient medical data related to a particular physiological process, the method comprising:
-
acquiring, from different sources, a plurality of patient medical data related to a particular physiological process; deriving calculated patient medical data from at least some of the acquired patient medical data; applying precedence rules to the acquired and calculated patient medical data, the precedence rules establishing priority of the sources depending on reliability of the sources; and presenting the acquired and calculated patient medical data on a data display screen according to the established priority of the sources, with the source with the highest priority being displayed as primary source. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 29)

21. A system for obtaining and deriving medical data related to patient inspiratory and expiratory flows and for displaying the data, the system comprising:
-
a data acquisition processor for acquiring patient medical data from a ventilator; a data processor configured to map the medical data onto a flow data object; and a display for displaying the flow data object, the flow data object comprising at least one set of inspiratory objects formed as arrows pointing in a first direction and displaying information representative of the inspiratory flow, and at least one set of expiratory objects formed as arrows pointing in a second direction and displaying information representative of the expiratory flow. - View Dependent Claims (23)
