Abstract: A patient transfer device is configured for use with at least one host device which is capable of providing respiratory support to a patient. The patient transfer device includes an inspiratory port and an expiratory port which are configured to pneumatically connect to the host. An inspiratory connection is pneumatically connected to the inspiratory port and an expiratory connection is pneumatically connected to the expiratory port. An inspiratory valve is coupled between the inspiratory port and the inspiratory connection and expiratory valve is coupled between the expiratory port and the expiratory connection. The inspiratory valve and the expiratory valve are operable between first configurations that permit flow there though and second configurations that occlude flow through the valves. The inspiratory valve and the expiratory valve are configured to operate in the second configuration when the patient transfer device is disconnected from the at least one host device.

Abstract: A medical system having a ventilator is provided. The medical system includes a memory for storing one or more patient and ventilation parameters. A processor is programmed to organize the one or more patient parameters into at least one of past patient and ventilation parameters, present patient and ventilation parameters, or future patient and ventilation parameters. A viewer displays at least one of the past patient or ventilation parameters, the present patient or ventilation parameters, or the future patient or ventilation parameters. The past patient and ventilation parameters, the present patient and ventilation parameters, and the future patient and ventilation parameters are selectable on the viewer.

Abstract: A differential pressure transducer determines pressure differentials between respiratory airflows and ambient airflows. Another determines pressure differentials between respiratory airflows and interface airflows. And another determines pressure differentials between i) respiratory airflows received from a subject and ii) interface airflows received from an area near a cannula. Corresponding respiratory monitoring methods also determine the same.

Abstract: A medical system having a ventilator is provided. The medical system includes a memory storing data related to patient and ventilator parameters. A processor is programmed to organize, in time, the data related to the patient and ventilator parameters.
