VENTILATOR-INITIATED PROMPT REGARDING DETECTION OF FLUCTUATIONS IN COMPLIANCE
First Claim
1. A ventilator-implemented method for detecting a fluctuation in compliance, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more ventilatory settings, wherein the one or more ventilatory settings include a baseline compliance;
collecting ventilatory data;
processing the collected ventilatory data, wherein processing the collected ventilatory data includes trending compliance during ventilation of a patient;
analyzing the trended compliance comprising comparing the trended compliance to the baseline compliance;
detecting a decrease in compliance upon determining that the trended compliance is less than the baseline compliance; and
displaying a notification message when the decrease in compliance is detected.

Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and methods for monitoring and evaluating ventilatory data to provide useful notifications and/or recommendations. Indeed, many clinicians may not easily identify or recognize data patterns and correlations indicative of certain patient conditions or the effectiveness of ventilatory treatment. Further, clinicians may not readily determine appropriate adjustments that may address certain patient conditions or the effectiveness of ventilatory treatment. Specifically, clinicians may not readily detect or recognize the occurrence of fluctuations in compliance during various types of ventilation. According to embodiments, a ventilator may be configured to monitor and evaluate diverse ventilatory parameters to detect an occurrence of and potential causes for fluctuations in compliance and may subsequently issue suitable notifications and/or recommendations. The suitable notifications and/or recommendations may further be provided in a hierarchical format such that the clinician may selectively access information regarding the fluctuation in compliance and/or potential causes for the fluctuation in compliance.

10. A ventilatory system for issuing a prompt when a decrease in compliance is detected, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and containing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method comprising; detecting a decrease in compliance; identifying one or more secondary ventilatory parameters occurring in conjunction with the decrease in compliance; determining one or more recommendations for addressing the decrease in compliance, at least partially based on the identified secondary ventilatory parameter; and displaying a prompt comprising one or more of; an alert regarding the decrease in compliance; a notification message displaying the one or more secondary ventilatory parameters occurring in conjunction with the decrease in compliance; and a recommendation message displaying the one or more recommendations for addressing the decrease in compliance. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A ventilator-implemented method for detecting a fluctuation in compliance, the method comprising:
-
receiving one or more ventilatory settings, wherein the one or more ventilatory settings include a baseline compliance; collecting ventilatory data; processing the collected ventilatory data, wherein processing the collected ventilatory data includes trending compliance during ventilation of a patient; analyzing the trended compliance comprising comparing the trended compliance to the baseline compliance; detecting an increase in compliance upon determining that the trended compliance is more than the baseline compliance; and displaying a notification message when the increase in compliance is detected. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
