Abstract: A method and system for assisting clinicians in determining when and how to perform a lung recruitment procedure. The method includes a user configurable interface that an operator or institution can set up to correspond to best practices. Based upon the information entered into the configurable user interface, a method and algorithm automatically determines when a lung recruitment procedure should be instituted. The system can either manually or automatically enable the beginning of the lung recruitment procedure depending upon the clinician and facility preferences. The algorithm includes a plurality of process steps that are carried out in a clinically-relevant order to eliminate patient condition options and to provide the appropriate recommended actions prior to initiating the lung recruitment procedure.

Abstract: A system for assessing a patient in an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program includes an ERAS tracking module that receives identification of ERAS monitoring parameters for monitoring whether the patient is on track to qualify for the ERAS program, including at least one drug delivery parameter, adequacy of anesthesia parameter, and vital sign. The ERAS tracking module receives ERAS qualification criteria for postoperative qualification for the ERAS program, and determines intraoperative tracking targets for each ERAS monitoring parameter, wherein the intraoperative tracking target is a desired value for the ERAS monitoring parameter during surgery that indicates postoperative qualification for the ERAS program.
