Embodiment Construction

[0011] The prior art IGEC literature describes methods of operating an IGEC as a stand-alone device. However, the prior art does not describe the use of IGECs in conjunction with respiratory care stations including ventilation devices, respiratory monitors and information management systems. If used in conjunction with a respiratory care station, IGEC can provide O 2 with CO 2 The benefits of gas exchange while the ventilator is set to a less aggressive setting. Obvious collateral benefits for the patient include a reduction in lung damage caused by the ventilation device. It may also reduce the length of time a patient under urgent care is taken off the ventilation device. The combination of IGECs with respiratory care stations can also significantly reduce the time patients spend in the ICU, which improves the patient's quality of life and reduces costs to the health care system.

[0012] In recent years, the point of care therapy delivery devices (eg, ICU ventilation de...

Abstract

The present invention is a system (100) and method (200) of integrating an intravascular gas exchange catheter (120) with a patient respiratory system including a monitor and ventilator. The system (100) and method (200) obtains a monitoring sample of respiratory mechanic parameters for a present time interval, which may be selectively recurring over a predefined time. The system (100) and method (200), according to the aforementioned respiratory mechanic parameters, alerts a physician to adjust, or automatically adjusts the oxygen delivery through the IGEC (120) the ventilator operation, or both the IGEC (120) and ventilator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of patient ventilation. More specifically, the present invention relates to the field of artificial lung assist devices. Background technique [0002] During intensive care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ADRS), physicians typically utilize respiratory care stations ( carestation). The ventilation device provides breathing work based on the clinical needs of the patient. The respiration monitor enables physicians to observe patient waveforms, trends, O, including inhaled and exhaled 2 and CO 2 Gas monitoring of concentrations, end-tidal CO 2 (ETCO 2 ), CO 2 the generation and O 2 consumption, metabolism and energy expenditure, and spirometry of the patient. The information management system provides patient data to be evaluated by a physician at the bedside or at a remote location. [0003] Intravascular gas exchange catheters (IG...
