Abstract: The systems and methods include controlling pressure and/or flow during exhalation. The systems and methods include novel exhalation for ventilating a patient. The systems and methods decrease the amount of time it takes the patient to passively expire an inspired volume of gas. For example, the systems and method may determine one or more pressure profiles based on one or more criterion and may select and utilize the pressure profile that provides for the fastest rate of lung emptying.

Abstract: A ventilation mask storage device (300, 400, 500) includes a body member (710) having a first side (712) and a second side (714). The body member first side has a recess that is shaped to receive and hold a ventilation mask (10). The body member also includes a connector (720) disposed on the second side of the body member that is configured to attach the device to one of a ventilator and a ventilator cart (75).

Abstract: A ventilation mask storage device (300, 400, 500) includes a first (310, 410, 510) and second body members (320, 420, 520); a hinge (330, 430, 530) connecting the first and second body members so the first and second body members can be brought together to define an enclosed space (305, 405, 505) for receiving a ventilation mask (10); a clasp (340, 440, 540) connected to the first and second body members to hold the first and second body members together when the clasp is engaged; an aperture (300, 400, 500) in at least one of the first and second body members to permit a circuit (15) to be connected to the ventilation mask when it is disposed within the enclosed space; and a connector (360, 460, 560) provided with at least one of the first and second body members to attach the device to a ventilator or ventilator cart.

Abstract: A system (10) and method of insufflating-exsufflating a subject (12) that enables monitoring and/or control over an enhanced set of breathing parameters during insufflation-exsuffiation. The system and/or method may include automatic triggering and/or notification to a caregiver of insufflation-exsuffiation. The insufflation-exsuffiation of the subject may be preceded by a secretion loosing routine that loosens secretions in the airway of the subject without moving the loosened secretions up the airway.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for monitoring and evaluating ventilatory data to provide useful notifications and/or recommendations. Indeed, many clinicians may not easily identify or recognize data patterns and correlations indicative of certain patient conditions or the effectiveness of ventilatory treatment. Further, clinicians may not readily determine appropriate adjustments that may address certain patient conditions or the effectiveness of ventilatory treatment. Specifically, clinicians may not readily detect or recognize the occurrence of high-delivered VT during various types of ventilation. According to embodiments, a ventilator may be configured to monitor and evaluate diverse ventilatory parameters to detect an occurrence of and potential causes for high-delivered VT and may subsequently issue suitable notifications and/or recommendations.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for ventilating a patient. The disclosure describes novel systems and methods for preventing and/or reducing the likelihood of a patient from receiving too much oxygen during a selected limited increase in oxygen concentration for a set period of time.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for monitoring and evaluating ventilatory parameters, analyzing those parameters and providing useful notifications and recommendations to clinicians. That is, modern ventilators monitor, evaluate, and graphically represent multiple ventilatory parameters. However, many clinicians may not easily recognize data patterns and correlations indicative of certain patient conditions, changes in patient condition, and/or effectiveness of ventilatory treatment. Further, clinicians may not readily determine appropriate ventilatory adjustments that may address certain patient conditions and/or the effectiveness of ventilatory treatment. Specifically, clinicians may not readily detect or recognize the presence of asynchrony during ventilation.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for monitoring and evaluating ventilatory parameters, analyzing those parameters and providing useful notifications and recommendations to clinicians. That is, modern ventilators monitor, evaluate, and graphically represent a myriad of ventilatory parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring and evaluating diverse ventilatory parameters to detect an asynchrony and may issue notifications and recommendations suitable for a patient to the clinician when asynchrony, such as an ineffective effort and an auto-trigger, is implicated. The suitable notifications and recommendations may further be provided in a hierarchical format such that the clinician may selectively access summarized and/or detailed information regarding the presence of asynchrony. In more automated systems, recommendations may be automatically implemented.

Abstract: The systems and methods include providing oxygenation-ventilation of a patient being monitored or treated with a medical system.

The novel systems and methods may monitor the patient and/or manage the treatment of a patient with a ventilator-ECGE system.

Abstract: The present disclosure combines the advantages of a hybrid mode of ventilation with an automatic determination of an appropriate spontaneous breath type in response to one or more patient based criteria. Specifically, when the ventilator is delivering a spontaneous breath type, a determination may be made as to whether predetermined ventilatory criteria have been met. Based on the determination the ventilator may deliver one of any number of spontaneous breath types.
