Aspects of the subject technology relate to a control device for a medical ventilator. The control device has a user definable medical ventilator protocol and is configured to select a plurality of objects from a group of objects, wherein each of the objects are segments of the ventilator protocol, and each of the objects has at least one attribute. Further, the control device is configured to arrange the plurality of objects in a sequence, initiate the at least one attribute to define a property for each object in the plurality of objects, and execute the sequence. The medical control device gives the user flexibility to define and implement a medical ventilator protocol in a faster way than possible today and for different patients and/or ventilator situations.

Control device for medical ventilators

A ventilator provides breathing support to a patient in an EMG controlled mode, and has an input that receives an EMG signal representative of breathing activity from the patient and a control unit for controlling the ventilation in dependence of said EMG signal. The ventilator has a registration unit that registers the actual breathing support provided from the ventilator to the patient, and the control unit determines if there is asynchrony between the EMG signal and the breathing activity and, in case of asynchrony, causes a switch from EMG controlled ventilation to a second ventilation mode not dependent on the EMG signal. If synchrony is detected the ventilator can return to EMG controlled ventilation.
