USE OF MULTIPLE SPONTANEOUS BREATH TYPES TO PROMOTE PATIENT VENTILATOR SYNCHRONY
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for operating a ventilator, the method comprising:
- receiving a user selection of two or more spontaneous breath types from a plurality of spontaneous breath types;
monitoring one or more patient respiratory parameters during ventilation of a patient;
comparing at least one monitored patient respiratory parameter to a set of predetermined threshold criteria; and
delivering a breath of the selected one of the two or more selected spontaneous breath types to the patient based on results of the comparing operation.

Abstract
The present disclosure combines the advantages of a hybrid mode of ventilation with an automatic determination of an appropriate spontaneous breath type in response to one or more patient based criteria. Specifically, when the ventilator is delivering a spontaneous breath type, a determination may be made as to whether predetermined ventilatory criteria have been met. Based on the determination the ventilator may deliver one of any number of spontaneous breath types.

19. A ventilator comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the ventilator to; receive a user selection of two or more spontaneous breath types from a plurality of spontaneous breath types; select a first spontaneous breath type of the two or more spontaneous breath types; deliver the first spontaneous breath type; monitor one or more patient respiratory parameters during ventilation of a patient; detect a change in a first monitored patient respiratory parameter; compare the first monitored patient respiratory parameter to a set of predetermined threshold criteria; select a second spontaneous breath type of the two or more spontaneous breath types based on the second comparing operation, wherein the second spontaneous breath type is different from the first spontaneous breath type; and deliver a breath of the selected one of the two or more selected spontaneous breath types to the patient based on results of the comparing operation. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by a processor cause a ventilator to:
-
receive a user selection of two or more spontaneous breath types from a plurality of spontaneous breath types; select a first spontaneous breath type of the two or more spontaneous breath types; deliver the first spontaneous breath type; monitor one or more patient respiratory parameters during ventilation of a patient; detect a change in a first monitored patient respiratory parameter; compare the first monitored patient respiratory parameter to a set of predetermined threshold criteria; select a second spontaneous breath type of the two or more spontaneous breath types based on the second comparing operation, wherein the second spontaneous breath type is different from the first spontaneous breath type; and deliver a breath of the selected one of the two or more selected spontaneous breath types to the patient based on results of the comparing operation. - View Dependent Claims (28)
