Publication number: 20240100288Abstract: Hybrid ventilation apparatuses, systems and methods are provided. Some example mechanical ventilation apparatuses include a gas delivery system, at least one oxygen concentrator for generating oxygen enriched gas for delivery to a patient, at least one pressurized oxygen source for providing oxygen for delivery to the patient, and a controller. Based at least in part on an FIO2 setting for the gas to be delivered to the patient, the controller may determine an oxygen enriched gas flow rate of the oxygen enriched gas and a pressurized oxygen source flow rate of the oxygen from the at least one pressurized oxygen source, for the gas to be delivered to the patient. The controller may control the gas delivery system to deliver the gas to the patient in accordance with the FIO2 setting, the determined oxygen enriched gas flow rate, and the determined pressurized oxygen source flow rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Brian P. Harvey, George Beck, Dorian LeCroy, Denise R. Eizadkhah, Douglas R. Connelly, Richard L. Pettys, Richard D. Branson, Rizwan Ajaz

Publication number: 20230099497Abstract: A life support and monitoring apparatus with malfunction correction guidance is provided. The life support and monitoring apparatus of the present disclosure identifies the root cause or potential cause of a fault/failure and then prompts an operator to take appropriate steps to assure the continuance of life support and critical physiologic monitoring. When multiple faults/failures exist, the apparatus automatically prioritizes them based on risk to the patient and prompts the operator to do the most appropriate intervention to assure patient safety.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Leslie H. Sherman, George Beck, Denise Eizadkhah, Dorian LeCroy

Publication number: 20220313929Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods are described, such as for providing, or controlling mechanical ventilation provided to, a patient. A controller may control a gas delivery system to deliver gas to the patient according to a FiO2 setting and a PEEP setting. The controller may adjust the FiO2 setting to an updated FiO2 setting based at least in part on a determined oxygen concentration of the patient's blood and may update the PEEP setting based at least in part on the updated FiO2 setting. Furthermore, the controller may update the PEEP setting based at least in part on the updated FiO2 setting and the current PEEP setting. An updated PEEP setting may be based at least in part on PEEP change eligibility rules and PEEP selection rules. The FiO2 setting may be adjusted so as to relatively rapidly increase the FiO2 setting in response to a rapidly decreasing patient SpO2.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: George Beck, Brian P. Harvey, Dorian LeCroy

Publication number: 20220105288Abstract: Respiratory distress apparatuses, systems and methods are described. An example respiratory distress management device includes a housing, and further has a mechanical ventilation apparatus and a controller within the housing. The controller may include a processor and a memory. The controller may be configured to determine whether, at a particular time, a fault mode condition exists. If a fault mode condition is determined not to exist, then the controller may be configured to enable control of the mechanical ventilation apparatus of the respiratory distress management device by a source in delivering mechanical ventilation to a patient, via signals received by the controller from the source. If a fault mode condition is determined to exist, then the controller may be configured to control the mechanical ventilation apparatus of the respiratory distress management device in delivering mechanical ventilation to the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Inventors: George Beck, Brian P Harvey, Denise R Eizadkhah, Dorian LeCroy, Gary A Freeman
