  • Publication number: 20150173193
    Abstract: A blade includes both a motherboard and daughter card to allow the combined functionality to be incorporated into a single blade for size reduction. Standoffs couple the daughter card to the motherboard. Cantilever portions of the motherboard and daughter card exist between the standoffs and terminals of the motherboard and daughter card. The cantilever portions bend to accommodate any misalignment between the terminals of the motherboard and the daughter card and mating connectors of a bulkhead or printed circuit board backplane.

  • Publication number: 20150019237
    Abstract: A method for computer assisted holistic patient monitoring includes receiving patient parameters from at least one medical device monitoring a patient, receiving historical patient data from a database, receiving clinician-generated data from a remote device, generating advisory feedback based on the received patient parameters, the received historical data, and the received clinician-generated data, and outputting the advisory feedback for review by a clinician. The method may further include the step of receiving a clinician response to the advisory feedback and storing the clinician response in the database. Additionally, the advisory feedback may be delivered to a second remote device operated by a supervising clinician.

  • Publication number: 20150019256
    Abstract: A patient communication system includes a patient communication device, a facility update device, a server, and a portal. The patient communication device is in the bedside environment of a patient within the medical facility. The patient uses the patient communication device to post statuses and send messages to individuals outside of the medical facility to the server. The facility update device provides updates to the server from clinicians and medical devices in the bedside environment of the patient. The server compiles the information from the patient communication device and from the facility update device and automatically posts the status updates to a portal associated with the patient. The portal is accessed by the individuals associated with the patient to receive updates concerning the status of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20150019257
    Abstract: Systems and methods for notifying clinicians of potential patient care risk scenarios and identifying remedial protocols to mitigate the risk. Patient data is downloaded from medical devices associated with the patient, such as, without limitation, a ventilator, bedside monitor, infusion pump, and/or dialysis machine. In addition physician medical orders and treatment notes are received. The patient data, medical orders, and treatment notes are analyzed by a state machine programmed to identify patient risk scenarios based upon known risk factors. Alerts and recommended courses of treatment are generated to enable caregivers to recognize high risk scenarios and to take preventative steps to reduce or avoid suboptimal outcomes. A plurality of state machines may be instantiated, enabling the system to monitor an arbitrary number of patients and treatment protocols.

  • Publication number: 20140366879
    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.

  • Publication number: 20140323874
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for processing a physiological signal in order to determine fluid responsiveness of a subject. In some embodiments, a respiration rate of the subject is received or determined, the signal is filtered based on the respiration rate to generate a filtered signal, and the filtered signal is processed to determine fluid responsiveness. In some embodiments, regular respiration is detected and fluid responsiveness is determined when regular respiration is detected. In some embodiments, the respiration of a subject is controlled, and fluid responsiveness is determined during controlled respiration.

  • Publication number: 20140251328
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for managing a move of a patient being monitored or treated by a medical system, such as a medical ventilator. The disclosure describes a novel approach for preventing a patient from being moved from a first location to second different location that is connected to a monitoring and/or treatment system, before all of the necessary hoses have been disconnected from the patient. Further, the disclosure describes a novel approach of ensuring that all of the necessary hoses are reconnected to a patient being monitored or treated by a monitoring and/or treatment system after being moved from the first location to the second different location.

  • Publication number: 20140235959
    Abstract: Ventilatory systems and methods are disclosed for detecting weaning readiness of a patient. In one aspect the method includes the steps of collecting patient data; analyzing the collected patient data to generate at least one patient parameter; comparing the at least one patient parameter to predetermined weaning readiness threshold criteria; and providing an advisory proposition to a clinician indicating a readiness of the patient to start a weaning trial if the at least one patient parameter meets the weaning readiness threshold criteria. The weaning trial may additionally or alternatively be automatically executed if the at least one patient parameter meets the weaning readiness threshold criteria.

  • Publication number: 20140230818
    Abstract: Ventilatory systems and methods are disclosed including a ventilator and at least one sensor in communication with the ventilator. The sensor is configured to monitor a chest wall movement of a patient during ventilation. The ventilator is configured to provide an alarm to a clinician upon detection by the sensor of a threshold change in the chest wall movement of the patient, for example, a threshold change between the monitored chest wall movement and a previously monitored chest wall movement of the patient. The sensor may be located on an exterior surface of the patient's chest and may be, for example, an accelerometer, an optical imaging system, an audio sensor, an electrical impedance sensor or an ultrasound sensor.

  • Patent number: 8714154
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods and devices for respiratory support. As one example, a ventilation system is disclosed that includes a computer readable medium including instructions for operating in a hybrid mode. These instructions include measuring patient effort during a spontaneous breath type and deriving a neural inspiratory time from the measurements of patient effort. This neural inspiratory time is then set as the inspiratory for a breath of a mandatory breath type. If new patient effort measurements are received by the ventilator, the neural inspiratory time may be adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20140048072
    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 fluctuations in compliance 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 fluctuations in compliance and may subsequently issue suitable notifications and/or recommendations.
