1. A method for managing patient ventilator operation, comprising the activities of:

  • performing a ventilation maneuver using a patient treatment module;

    receiving by a patient monitoring module data from at least one parameter sensor, said data representing at least one of arterial blood pressure, cardiac output, and ST segment level of a patient;

    calculating a percent fall between first sensed data representing at least one of the arterial blood pressure and cardiac output and subsequent sensed data corresponding to the at least one of the arterial blood pressure and cardiac output using a central processor communicating and controlling the patient monitoring module and the patient treatment module;

    comparing the percent fall to at least one of a selected first percentage threshold corresponding to arterial blood pressure and a selected second percentage threshold corresponding to cardiac output using the central processor;

    in response to at least one of a fall in said arterial blood pressure exceeding the selected first percentage threshold and a fall in said cardiac output exceeding the selected second percentage threshold, analyzing ST segment level of the patient using the central processor;

    in response to said ST segment level indicating no heart damage, using the central processor to adaptively alter at least one of the selected first percentage threshold and the selected second percentage threshold to a selected third percentage threshold that is greater than the selected first percentage threshold or a selected fourth percentage threshold that is greater than the selected second percentage threshold; and

    in response to said ST segment level indicating possible heart damage, using the central processor to adaptively alter said ventilation maneuver.
