The method includes a user configurable interface that an operator or institution can set up to correspond to best practices. Based upon the information entered into the configurable user interface, a method and algorithm automatically determines when a lung recruitment procedure should be instituted. The system can either manually or automatically enable the beginning of the lung recruitment procedure depending upon the clinician and facility preferences. The algorithm includes a plurality of process steps that are carried out in a clinically-relevant order to eliminate patient condition options and to provide the appropriate recommended actions prior to initiating the lung recruitment procedure.
