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.

14. A system for managing patient ventilator operation, comprising:
-
a patient monitoring module for receiving data from at least one sensor, said data representing at least one of arterial blood pressure, cardiac output, and ST segment level of a patient; a patient treatment module for providing signals for adaptively altering a ventilation maneuver performed on the patient by a patient ventilator; a central processor communicating and controlling the patient monitoring module and the patient treatment module, the central processor configured for 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; 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; 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 data of the patient; in response to ST segment level indicating no heart damage, adaptively altering 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 ST segment level indicating possible heart damage, adaptively altering said ventilation maneuver. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
