VENTILATOR-INITIATED PROMPT OR SETTING REGARDING DETECTION OF ASYNCHRONY DURING VENTILATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A ventilator-implemented method for detecting asynchrony during ventilation of a patient, the method comprising:
- collecting data associated with ventilatory parameters;
processing the collected ventilatory parameter data, wherein processing the collected ventilatory parameter data comprises deriving ventilatory parameter data from the collected ventilatory parameter data, wherein the processed ventilator parameter data includes at least one of a respiration rate and an expiratory time;
determining that an auto-trigger is implicated upon detecting that the processed ventilator parameter data breaches a received predetermined threshold; and
issuing a smart prompt when the auto-trigger is implicated.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for monitoring and evaluating diverse ventilatory parameters to detect an asynchrony and may issue notifications and recommendations suitable for a patient to the clinician when asynchrony, such as an ineffective effort and an auto-trigger, is implicated. The suitable notifications and recommendations may further be provided in a hierarchical format such that the clinician may selectively access summarized and/or detailed information regarding the presence of asynchrony. In more automated systems, recommendations may be automatically implemented.

10. A ventilatory system for issuing a smart prompt when asynchrony is implicated during ventilation of a patient, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and containing instructions that are executed by the at least one processor, the instructions comprising; detecting that an auto-trigger is implicated for the patient based on at least one of a respiration rate and an expiratory time; determining an appropriate notification message; determining an appropriate recommendation message; and issuing at least one of the appropriate notification message and the appropriate recommendation message. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

-
collecting data associated with ventilatory parameters; processing the collected ventilatory parameter data, wherein the processing the collected ventilatory parameter data comprises deriving ventilatory parameter data from the collected ventilatory parameter data to determine at least one of a pressure integral during exhalation for a moving time window and a flow integral during exhalation for a moving time window; determining that an ineffective effort is implicated upon detecting that the processed ventilator parameter data breaches a received predetermined threshold; and issuing a smart prompt when the ineffective effort is implicated. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
