Quick initiation of respiratory support via a ventilator user interface
First Claim
1. A ventilator comprising a display device for providing minimal-step ventilation setup for a new patient, 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 user interface, the user interface comprising:
- at least one window associated with the user interface; and
one or more elements within the at least one window comprising;
at least one input element for receiving at least one patient variable selected from the group consisting of;
a patient predicted body weight and a patient gender and height; and
a selection element for initiating ventilation for the new patient according to a quick-start method, wherein the quick-start method initiates ventilation based on a plurality of preconfigured parameter settings comprising a preconfigured PEEP setting and a preconfigured ventilation trigger type, wherein the ventilator selects the plurality of preconfigured parameter settings based on the at least one patient variable.

Abstract
This disclosure describes improved systems and methods for efficiently configuring respiratory settings and/or parameters in a ventilatory system. Specifically, the present methods and user interface provide an efficient and consistent means for configuring ventilatory settings for a new patient. Specifically, the ventilator may be preconfigured with appropriate parameter settings based on an institution-specific protocol, a physician-specific protocol, or other suitable protocol or specification. Indeed, the present disclosure provides an institution and/or physician with increased control over routine ventilatory settings by pre-configuring the ventilator with these routine settings. Further, the present disclosure provides increased assurance as to the consistency of the routine ventilatory settings by eliminating repeated data entry by clinicians, decreasing the chances of error.
