1. 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 adapted to connect with 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;
a movement module, the movement module determines a patient move from a first location to a second location based on at least the sensor output, wherein the first location and the second location are not the same;
an operator interface for receiving confirmation of an intended patient move by an operator;
a status module, the status module in response to the intended patient move determines a disconnection status of a plurality of hoses based on at least the sensor output;
a notification module, the notification module determines a movement notification based on the disconnection statuses from the status module,wherein the movement notification includes a list of the disconnection status for each hose of the plurality of hoses; and
a display module, the display module displays the movement notification and an indication of whether the patient is ready for movement based on the disconnection status for each hose of the plurality of hoses.

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.
