Publication number: 20160325061Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting asynchrony between a subject (106) and a ventilator (140) are based on analyzing respiratory parameters across multiple respiratory cycles. By determining the variability and/or correlation of one or more parameters related to respiratory timing (inhalation duration, exhalation duration, etc.) and/or a combination of respiratory flow rate and respiratory pressure, asynchrony may be detected and/or predicted.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2015Publication date: November 10, 2016Inventors: CARL TAMS, NEIL EULIANO, MICHAEL BANNER, ANDREA GABRIELLI

Patent number: 8728002Abstract: A system and method of calculating an accurate estimate of pulmonary mechanics of a patient, including but not limited to compliance, resistance, and plateau pressure without modification of ventilator flow pattern. The accurate estimation of pulmonary mechanics is derived from airway pressure and flow sensors attached to the patient using novel mathematical models. These estimated figures for pulmonary mechanics (respiratory system compliance and resistance) are important for monitoring patient treatment efficacy during mechanical ventilation and ensuring alveoli do not over distend to avoid baro- and/or volutrauma, especially in patients with restrictive lung diseases. The subject method of calculating these accurate estimated figures for pulmonary mechanics is based on linear or non-linear calculations using multiple parameters derived from the above-mentioned sensors.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2010Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignees: University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc., Convergent Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Nawar Nazar Yousif Al-Rawas, Andrea Gabrielli, Neil Russell Euliano, Michael Joseph Banner
