Abstract
A patient ventilation system includes a ventilator configured to deliver ventilation gas to patient, a COconcentration sensor configured to provide EtCOmeasurements for the patient, and an SpOmonitor configured to determine an SpOvalue for the patient. A ventilation control module is executable on a processor and configured to compare the SpOvalue to a threshold SpOand determine from this comparison that the SpOvalue indicates inadequate oxygenation. A minimum ventilation amount is then set, and the ventilator is then controlled based on the EtCOmeasurements and the minimum ventilation amount so as to deliver at the least the minimum ventilation amount to the patient while the SpOvalue indicates inadequate oxygenation.
