Abstract
The invention is directed to a ventilation control system for controlling the ventilation of a patient. The ventilation control system utilizes a user-friendly user interface for the display of patient data and ventilator status. The user interface includes a graphic representation of a breath cycle that displays the breath cycle currently being ventilated, and is also responsive to changes in ventilation settings to assist the user in evaluation the effect of those changes on the ventilator strategy before the changes are implemented.

2. A patient ventilator system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having instructions for determining whether an alarm setting exceeds at least one alarm setting limit, the instructions when executed by the processor causing the ventilator to perform a method, the method comprising; receiving the alarm setting; comparing the alarm setting to the at least one alarm setting limit, wherein the at least one alarm setting limit is representative of at least one value that is not to be exceeded; determining whether the alarm setting exceeds the at least one alarm setting limit; and based on the determining operation, performing one of accepting the alarm setting or rejecting the alarm setting.

10. A method for determining whether an alarm setting exceeds at least one alarm setting limit, the method implemented on a ventilator having a processor and a memory having instructions that when executed by the processor cause the ventilator to perform the method, the method comprising:
-
receiving the alarm setting; comparing the alarm setting to the at least one alarm setting limit, wherein the at least one alarm setting limit is representative of at least one value that is not to be exceeded; determining whether the alarm setting exceeds the at least one alarm setting limit; and based on the determining operation, performing one of accepting the alarm setting or rejecting the alarm setting.

17. A ventilator comprising a display device, the ventilator configured with a computer having a processor and a memory, the memory communicatively coupled to the processor and containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the ventilator to provide a graphical user interface on the display device, the graphical user interface comprising:
-
a main setup screen, comprising; a first input element for receiving a patient ideal body weight; and a second input element for receiving a ventilation strategy; and an alarm setup screen, comprising; an alarm button for receiving an alarm setting, wherein the alarm setting is compared to at least one alarm setting limit, wherein the at least one alarm setting limit is preset based on the received patient ideal body weight and the received ventilation strategy; and a graphical alarm setting display, wherein the received alarm setting is accepted and displayed in the graphical alarm setting display if the alarm setting does not exceed the at least one alarm setting limit. - View Dependent Claims (19)
