A ventilation management system communicatively couples a remote device such as a mobile device to one or more ventilators for monitoring of ventilator data, including ventilator configuration data, patient physiological statistics, and notifications. When a command to modify a configuration parameter of the ventilator is received while the ventilator is unavailable for communication, the command is cached and provided when the ventilator becomes available. When ventilator becomes available, the system receives an indication that the configuration parameter was modified at the ventilator, an operating condition of the ventilator, and a physiological statistic of a patient associated with the ventilator, the operating condition and physiological statistic having been cached by the ventilator while the ventilator is unavailable. The operating condition of the ventilator, the physiological statistic of the patient, and the indication that the configuration parameter was modified is provided to the remote computing device for display.

Ventilation management system

A ventilation system operates in one of a plurality of modes for communicating ventilation information with a computing device, and operating parameters of a ventilation device are remotely modified based on system data. Ventilation data is received from a ventilation device and an alarm associated with the ventilation device or the patient associated with the ventilation device is determined based on at least a portion of the ventilation data. Responsive to determining the alarm, the alarm is transmitted to the computing device before the ventilator data is transmitted to the computing device.

Ventilation system

A ventilator system includes a ventilation device, and is configured to operate in a passive mode configured to transmit ventilation data in response to requests from a ventilation management system, or an active mode configured to automatically transmit ventilation data as the data becomes available. The system receives ventilation system data associated with operation of the ventilation device, modifies one or more operating parameters of the ventilation device based on the received ventilation system data, receives ventilator data associated with the ventilator device, determines an alarm associated with the ventilator device or a patient based on the received ventilator data and, responsive to determining the alarm, sends the alarm to a beginning of a transmission queue for transmitting the ventilation data to the ventilation management system, wherein the alarm is communicated over the network prior to other ventilation data in the transmission queue.

A method, system and computer-readable medium are provided for weaning patients from ventilation, the method including the steps of receiving infusion and ventilation information, and determining whether to initiate termination of the ventilation. The method further including determining whether a timing of an extubation was performed according to the rules and protocols, and providing a notification to a client device regarding the timing of the extubation.

System and method for weaning patients from ventilation

A ventilation management system stores an initial configuration profile including a set of operating parameters for operating one or more respective ventilation devices. The system receives first ventilator data from a first ventilation device at a first location, and second ventilator data from a second ventilation device at a second location, the first and second ventilation devices being configured to operate based on the initial configuration profile, wherein the received first ventilator data comprises one or more current operating parameters of the first ventilation device, or physiological data obtained from a patient associated with the first ventilation device. The system modifies the initial configuration profile for use by the first ventilation device based on the received first ventilation data and provides the modified configuration profile to the first ventilation device. The modified configuration profile is implemented by the first ventilation device when approved by a clinician or the patient.

Patient information is associated with a respective ventilator device of a medical ventilator devices. Based on the ventilator data and associating the patient information, a ventilation configuration of the respective ventilator device and patient ventilation data related to a ventilation of the respective patient are determined. A current configuration of each of the plurality of medical ventilators is provided for display. In this regard, a display includes the determined ventilation configuration of the respective ventilator device and patient ventilation data of the respective patient. A control may also be displayed for changing a setting associated with the respective ventilator device and, when a change of the setting is received and implemented by the respective ventilator device, an indication of the change of the setting may be provided. Patient orientation may also be sensed and used to determine whether a setting needs to be changed or suction is needed.
