CUSTOMIZABLE MANDATORY/SPONTANEOUS CLOSED LOOP MODE SELECTION
First Claim
1. A method for transitioning between a first mode of ventilator operation and a second mode of ventilator operation, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of first modes of ventilator operations and a plurality of second modes of ventilator operations;
receiving a selection of the first mode of ventilator operation;
receiving a selection of the second mode of ventilator operation;
initiating ventilation of a patient in the first mode of ventilator operation;
monitoring the ventilation of the patient; and
transitioning into the second mode of ventilator operation.

Abstract
A multimode ventilator is disclosed that provides physicians and clinicians the ability to select multiple modes of operation for the ventilator. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide users with the ability to select from multiple modes of ventilator operations. The users may also set transition conditions and monitoring thresholds that determine when the multimode ventilator transitions between the selected modes of operations. Multiple user interfaces are also disclosed that allow the user to interact with the multimode ventilator in order to select particular modes of operation, transition conditions, and monitoring thresholds.

9. A method for transitioning between a first mode of ventilator operation and a second mode of ventilator operation, the method comprising:
-
providing a plurality of first modes of ventilator operations and a plurality of second modes of ventilator operations; receiving a selection of the first mode of ventilator operation; receiving a selection of the second mode of ventilator operation; receiving a first selection of first transition conditions operable to initiate the transition between the first mode of ventilator operation and the second mode of ventilator operation; initiating ventilation of a patient in the first mode of ventilator operation; monitoring the ventilation of the patient; and transitioning into the second mode of ventilator operation based on detection of the first transition conditions. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer storage medium encoding computer-readable instructions executable by a processor for performing a method of transitioning between a mandatory mode of ventilator operation and a spontaneous mode of ventilator operation during the operation of a ventilator on a patient, the method comprising:
-
providing a plurality of mandatory modes of ventilator operation for selection by a user; proving a plurality of spontaneous modes of ventilator operation for selection by the user; providing one or more mode transition conditions; receiving, from the user, a selection of a first mandatory mode of ventilator operation from the plurality of mandatory modes, a selection of a first spontaneous mode of ventilator operation from the plurality of spontaneous modes, and a selection of a first transition condition and a second transition condition; operating the ventilator in the selected first mandatory mode of ventilator operation; monitoring the ventilation of the patient; transitioning operation of the ventilator from the selected first mandatory mode of ventilator operation to the selected first spontaneous ventilator operation if the first transition condition is met. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A multimode ventilator comprising:
-
a display for displaying; a plurality of mandatory modes of ventilator operation; a plurality of spontaneous modes of ventilator operation; and one or more mode transition conditions; a user input device for receiving from a user a selection of a first mandatory mode of ventilator operation from the plurality of mandatory modes, a selection of a first spontaneous mode of ventilator operation from the plurality of spontaneous modes, and a selection of a first transition condition; a ventilation delivery module for performing ventilation on a patient, wherein the ventilation delivery module is adapted to operate in any of the mandatory modes and spontaneous modes of ventilator operation; an analysis module for analyzing patient respiratory activity against the first transition condition; and a transition module for identifying the selected first mandatory mode and the selected first spontaneous mode and transitioning operation of the ventilator between the selected first mandatory mode of ventilator operation and the selected first spontaneous mode of ventilator operation based upon information received from the analysis module. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)
