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.
