Abstract: A training mode for a video laryngoscope is disclosed. The training mode may allow an operator to practice and maintain DL skills with a video laryngoscope. In the training mode, a video image typically provided on an integrated display of the video laryngoscope may be temporarily obscured, filtered, or turned off. Additionally, the unfiltered video image acquired by the video laryngoscope may be displayed on an external display, separate from the video laryngoscope. The external display may be viewable by a trainer (e.g., an attending) for teaching purposes. The training mode may also include an adjustment of a brightness and/or intensity of a light source on the video laryngoscope (e.g., a light source may be brighter/more intense during training mode than during normal video laryngoscopy). In an instance where the video is recorded, at least a portion of the recording that is associated with the training mode may be labeled.

Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically adjusting the compliance of a patient circuit. In an example, the technology relates to a medical ventilation system that includes a dynamic compliance circuit. The dynamic compliance circuit includes an inspiratory tube extending from an inhalation port of a medical ventilator, the inspiratory tube defining an inner lumen for carrying breathing gases from the inhalation port towards a patient; and a compliance adjustment covering coupled to the inspiratory tube, wherein adjustments to the compliance adjustment covering alter an effective compliance of the inspiratory tube. The system may also include a processor; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations including, based a type of ventilation mode of the ventilator, causing an adjustment to the compliance adjustment covering to alter the effective compliance of the inspiratory tube.

Abstract: Systems and methods for transfer of ventilator settings from one ventilator to another ventilator are disclosed. a method for transferring ventilator settings from one medical ventilator to another medical ventilator. An example method includes receiving a selection to initiate a transfer of current ventilator settings to a receiving ventilator, the current ventilator settings corresponding to settings currently being used by the medical ventilator to provide ventilation to a patient; exchanging identification data with the receiving ventilator; based on the exchanged identification data, establishing communication with the receiving ventilator; and prior to the patient being disconnected from the medical ventilator, transmitting the current ventilator settings to the receiving ventilator.

Abstract: A ventilator for generating a family dashboard for a patient being ventilated by the ventilator. The ventilator includes a pressure generating system for generating pressurized breathing gases for delivery to the patient and a display coupled to the pressure generating system. The ventilator performs operations including displaying, on the display, a set of ventilation waveforms; detecting a triggering condition for a family dashboard; and based on detecting the triggering condition, removing the ventilation waveforms from the display and displaying, on the display, the family dashboard, wherein the family dashboard includes at least a total ventilator support indicator that indicates an amount of total ventilator support being provided to the patient.
