Publication number: 20230377743Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for displaying physiological data in a user interface are described. The method may include identifying a first table and displaying a first row including the first set of values for the first physiological parameter and a second row including the second set of values for the second physiological parameter. The method may further include receiving, from a medical device associated with a patient, measured values associated with the first physiological parameter and the second physiological parameter. In some cases, the method may include identifying a first display range and a second display range based at least in part on the received measured values. The method may also include displaying a first visual indicator and a second visual based on whether the first display range and the second display range visually overlap between the first row and the second row.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2021Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Covidien LPInventors: Jason GRIMES, Lakshmi SOWRIRAJAN, Clifford SCHORR, Rabia QASEEM, Gary MILNE, Timothy WILSEY, Corey CARSON

Publication number: 20150224272Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2015Publication date: August 13, 2015Applicant: Covidien LPInventors: Gary Milne, Kirk Hensley, Peter R.

Publication number: 20150090258Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Applicant: Covidien LPInventors: Gary Milne, Peter R.

Patent number: 8776792Abstract: The systems and methods include providing a volume-targeted minimum pressure-control breath type during ventilation of a patient. The system and methods provide a novel breath type that allows an operator to input a tidal volume and receive some of the benefits of utilizing an airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) breath type in combination with some of the benefits of utilizing a volume-targeted-pressure-control (VC+) breath type.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2011Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Covidien LPInventor: Gary Milne

Publication number: 20140190485Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that determine whether a patient is receiving minimal support from a ventilator. In one embodiment, a ventilation system may determine a value of a peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and a value of a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of a patient. The ventilation system may determine a pressure differential between the value of PIP and the value of PEEP and compare the pressure differential to a threshold. The ventilation system may determine that the patient is receiving minimal support if the pressure differential is below the threshold. Further, the ventilation system may provide an indication of the detection of minimal support.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Gary Milne, Andrew Malcolmson
