Methods and Systems for Managing a Patient Move
First Claim
1. A method for managing a move of a patient connected to a medical ventilator system, the method comprising:
- receiving a movement notice of an intended patient move from a first location to a second location, wherein the first location and the second location are not the same;
determining a disconnection status of each necessary hose based on the notice; and
issuing a movement notification based on the determined disconnection statuses.

Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and methods for managing a move of a patient being monitored or treated by a medical system, such as a medical ventilator. The disclosure describes a novel approach for preventing a patient from being moved from a first location to second different location that is connected to a monitoring and/or treatment system, before all of the necessary hoses have been disconnected from the patient. Further, the disclosure describes a novel approach of ensuring that all of the necessary hoses are reconnected to a patient being monitored or treated by a monitoring and/or treatment system after being moved from the first location to the second different location.

15. A medical ventilator system, comprising:
-
a pressure generating system, the pressure generating system adapted to control a flow of gas from a gas supply to a patient via a ventilator breathing circuit; a plurality of sensors operatively coupled to at least one of the pressure generating system, the patient, and the ventilator breathing circuit, wherein the plurality of sensors monitor a plurality of parameters to generate sensor output; an operator interface for receiving operator input; a movement module, the movement module determines an intended patient move from a first location to a second location based on at least one of the sensor output and operator input, wherein the first location and the second location are not the same; a status module, the status module in response to the determined intended patient move determines a disconnection status of each necessary hose based on at least one of the sensor output and the operator input; a notification module, the notification module determines a movement notification based the disconnection statuses from the status module; and a display module, the display module displays the movement notification. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method for managing movement of a patient connected to a medical system, the method comprising:
-
repeatedly receiving a movement notice of an intended patient move from a first location to a second location, wherein the first location and the second location are not the same; repeatedly determining a disconnection status of each necessary hose based on the notice; repeatedly issuing a movement notification based on the determined disconnection statuses.
