Abstract
Embodiments described herein seek to optimize the informative presentation of alarms on a ventilator user interface. Embodiments may provide a first level of display that provides a summary of an alarm event and, upon selection, a second level of display that provides additional detailed information regarding the alarm event. Further embodiments may provide access, via hyperlink or otherwise, to settings and/or display screens for resetting the alarm, for reconfiguring alarm settings as appropriate, or for gathering additional information regarding the alarm event. For multiple simultaneous alarm events, a plurality of alarm messages may be prioritized for a clinician on a designated area of the user interface. Prioritization may be communicated via the presentation of various icons, alerts, text, or otherwise, on individual alarm messages. Additionally or alternatively, prioritization may be communicated based on the graphical placement of alarm messages relative to other alarm messages, for instance by displaying more serious alarm messages above other alarm messages, or by displaying more recent alarm messages above other alarm messages. Additionally or alternatively, alarm messages may be partially translucent, such that other displayed respiratory data may be simultaneously viewed with the alarm messages.
