  • Publication number: 20220270740
    Abstract: Responsive determining that a client device is authorized for access to a ventilator, a user interface is provided, including a display of configuration information for the ventilator, the displayed configuration information including a current mode of operation of the ventilator and one or more ventilation settings affecting a current ventilation of a patient by the ventilator. A ventilation setting to modify the current ventilation of the patient is received and, before the current ventilation is modified by the received ventilation setting, a ventilation index for the received ventilation setting is determined based on comparing the current ventilation with the aggregated setting and outcome data for the plurality of patient ventilations, and a representation of the ventilation index is displayed responsive to receiving the ventilation setting. An instruction to modify the current ventilation of the patient based on the received setting and the determined ventilation index.

  • Patent number: 11328808
    Abstract: Patient information is associated with a respective ventilator device of a medical ventilator devices. Based on the ventilator data and associating the patient information, a ventilation configuration of the respective ventilator device and patient ventilation data related to a ventilation of the respective patient are determined. A current configuration of each of the plurality of medical ventilators is provided for display. In this regard, a display includes the determined ventilation configuration of the respective ventilator device and patient ventilation data of the respective patient. A control may also be displayed for changing a setting associated with the respective ventilator device and, when a change of the setting is received and implemented by the respective ventilator device, an indication of the change of the setting may be provided. Patient orientation may also be sensed and used to determine whether a setting needs to be changed or suction is needed.

  • Patent number: 11183287
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-readable medium are provided for determining compliance with patient care protocols, comprising an infusion pump providing infusion information pertaining to one or more drugs administered to a patient, the one or more drugs including sedatives and analgesics, and a processor communicably coupled to the infusion pump and configured to determine information regarding the one or more drugs being administered to the patient based on the infusion information by determining a baseline threshold for the one or more drugs being administered to the patient according to the actual dosage of the one or more drugs administered to the patient prior to a current time, determining a dosage amount of the one or more drugs currently being administered to the patient and comparing the dosage amount of the one or more drugs currently being administered to the baseline threshold to determine a deviation from the baseline threshold.
