A ventilator for ventilating a patient also assists a clinician in determining a suitable PEEP for the patient. For this purpose, a graph or tabular display of a series of different value PEEPs and corresponding functional residual capacities of the patient may be provided. Or, the amount of the lung volume recruited / de-recruited at various levels of PEEP may be determined for use in selecting a desired PEEP. To this end, the functional residual capacity of the lungs is determined for a first PEEP level. The PEEP is then altered to a second level and a spirometry dynostatic curve of lung volume and pressure data is obtained. The lung volume on the dynostatic curve at a lung pressure corresponding to the first PEEP value is obtained. The difference between the functional residual capacity of the lungs at the first PEEP level and that determined from the dynostatic curve represents the lung volume recruited / de-recruited when changing between said first and second PEEPs.

A method for searching in multiple relationship-searching hosts. The method can be installed in a computer, wherein the computer comprises a user interface (UI) to access search conditions. Firstly the method begins with inputting the search conditions on the UI. Next, the search conditions are transmitted to the hosts with each of the hosts' data format retrieved from a server data format database in the computer.

A controlled database system is designed for rapid access of data records with reduced memory storage requirements. The database system employs a set of obfuscated data records stored in data crystals that can only be accessed and read by an iterator, which is not directly accessible by the users of the database. The iterator accesses information responsive to a predefined query sent from a customer application. Rather than providing general tools to customers for constructing any possible queries, such as is done in structured query language database systems, database systems embodying the present invention allow only predefined types of queries to be used by customer applications. By restricting the types of queries customer applications can call, valuable data records remain secure from unauthorized reconstruction or duplication while still allowing limited access for specific purposes.
