Publication number: 20140290657Abstract: The disclosure describes a method for automatically initiating ventilation, controlling ventilation, transitioning a ventilator to subject controlled ventilation, and weaning a subject from ventilation. The disclosure describes that the method for automatically initiating ventilation includes inputting a physical characteristic of the subject into a ventilator. The physical characteristic may be ideal body weight, height, or age. Based on the inputted physical characteristic, one or more ventilation parameters are calculated. The disclosure describes initiating ventilation based on the calculated parameters. During ventilation at least one physiological parameter of the subject is monitored. At least one ventilation parameter may be adjusted based on the monitoring of the physiological parameters and the inputted physical characteristic.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Joseph D. Vandine, David Hyde, Warren G. Sanborn

Patent number: 8813750Abstract: There is disclosed an endotracheal tube which has a minimal cross-sectional profile for easy viewing of anatomical features during intubation. After the tube is placed into the trachea, the tube is adapted to increase the diameter. In this manner the tube diameter may be expanded to allow for decreased Work of Breathing (WOB) for patient, while not having so large a diameter as to cause tracheal discomfort.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2010Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Michael P. O'Neil, Joel C. Colburn, Gary L. Crumback, Charles E. Porges, Alfred Chung, David Hyde

Publication number: 20140012150Abstract: This disclosure describes improved systems and methods for displaying respiratory data to a clinician in a ventilatory system. Respiratory data may be displayed by any number of suitable means, for example, via appropriate graphs, diagrams, charts, waveforms, and other graphic displays. The disclosure describes novel systems and methods for determining and displaying ineffective patient inspiratory or expiratory efforts or missed breaths in a manner easily deciphered by a clinician.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2012Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLCInventors: Gary Milne, David Hyde

Patent number: 8511306Abstract: The disclosure describes a novel approach for displaying information on a ventilator system. The disclosure describes a novel respiratory system including a removable primary display and system status display. Further, the disclosure describes a novel method for displaying ventilator information and a novel method for controlling a ventilator system.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Gabriel Sanchez, David Hyde, Donna Cleveland, Kenneth Leone

Publication number: 20130192599Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for configuring a ventilator to estimate the carinal pressure to minimize the work of breathing due to a breathing tube. A patient's carina is a cartilaginous ridge located at the site of the tracheal bifurcation between the two primary bronchi. According to embodiments, an estimated carinal pressure may be determined and used as feedback control for the carinal pressure. An estimated carinal pressure refers to a pressure estimated to exist at the patient carina. According to embodiments, the estimated carinal pressure may be compared to the carinal pressure command to determine an error. The carinal pressure command may be positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) or some other suitable target pressure. The error between the estimated carinal pressure and the carinal pressure command may then be used as feedback control to achieve the carinal pressure command and thereby to minimize the work of breathing due to the breathing tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2012Publication date: August 1, 2013Applicant: Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLCInventors: Richard Nakai, Periagounder Arul, David Hyde

Patent number: 8434483Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for ventilating a patient with a system that includes an accumulator for storing a gas mixture. The disclosure describes a novel approach for determining the concentrations of gas found in the accumulator by utilizing a sampling chamber. The disclosure further describes a novel approach for a fast delivery of a change in gas mixture to a patient by utilizing a variable-sized accumulator. This disclosure also describes systems and methods for ventilating a patient with a system that includes an accumulator located away from the flow path that reduces/eliminates pockets of an undesirable gas mixture from entering the gas flow path and reaching the patient after a gas mixture change by utilizing at least one of a dip-tube, a purge valve, and a variable size accumulator.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2010Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Nirav Patel, Gabriel Sanchez, David Hyde

Patent number: 8290787Abstract: A method for providing prescription renewal request information via an electronic network. Upon receiving a request from a client for renewal request information for a particular prescriber, a report is generated containing the requested renewal request information and transmitted to the client. The transmitted report allows the client to easily review renewal request information and helps the client to manage appointments with patients whom the prescriber wishes to see.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2011Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Epocrates, Inc.Inventors: Richard Alan Fiedotin, Geoffrey David Hyde, Diane Elizabeth Fraser
