Patent number: 11344689Abstract: A ventilator with a safe standby mode is provided. The safe standby mode allows a user to disconnect a patient from the ventilator, without the ventilator generating alarms and while maintaining previously entered ventilation parameters. In addition, while in the safe standby mode, a patient connection status is monitored, and a ventilation mode is entered automatically if the ventilator determines that a patient is connected to the ventilator while the ventilator is in the safe standby mode.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: Covidien LPInventor: Ron Thiessen

Publication number: 20110023878Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for delivering one or more low flow recruitment maneuvers to a patient while on a ventilator. Embodiments described herein provide methods for delivering low flow recruitment maneuvers wherein either or both of the inspiratory and expiratory phases of the recruitment maneuver are maintained by the ventilator at a low flow. Embodiments described herein provide for single-breath recruitment maneuvers and multi-breath recruitment maneuvers at low flow. Embodiments described herein provide for graphical display of a pressure-volume loop (PV loop) for both single-breath and multi-breath recruitment maneuvers. Embodiments described herein also disclose an automated ventilator functionality whereby recruitment maneuvers settings and/or post-recruitment maneuver settings for resuming prescribed ventilation may be set via a graphical user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2010Publication date: February 3, 2011Applicant: Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLCInventor: Ron Thiessen

Publication number: 20100071695Abstract: A patient wye for use in connection with a ventilator having one or more integrated transducers is provided. A transducer is integrated into the patient wye by locating the transducer within a branch of the patient wye. A transducer can be located between the center point of the wye and the port of the branch with which it is associated. More particularly, the transducer can be located so that it is on a side of a wall defining the branch in which it is placed that is opposite a connection surface for attaching tubing associated with a corresponding limb of the ventilator to the patient wye. Accordingly, flow or other transducers can be added to a patient circuit without necessarily increasing the volume of the patient circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2008Publication date: March 25, 2010Inventor: Ron Thiessen
