Abstract

The invention relates to an anesthesia system and method. Concretely, a system is disclosed herein. The system may include a pneumatic circuit (30) comprising an inspiratory limb (40), an expiratory limb (42), and an endotracheal tube (45). The endotracheal tube (45) may be configured to form a pneumatic coupling between a patient (34), the inspiratory limb (40) and the expiratory limb (42). The system may be configured to automatically identify the presence of a leak in the pneumatic coupling.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods configured to automatically identify mispositioning of an endotracheal tube. Background technique [0002] In general, medical ventilator systems are used to provide respiratory support to patients undergoing anesthesia and respiratory therapy when the patient's ability to breathe is impaired. The main function of the medical ventilator system is to maintain the proper pressure and flow of gas inhaled and exhaled by the patient. Gases may be delivered to and from the patient via the endotracheal tube. The process of placing an endotracheal tube into the patient's windpipe is called endotracheal intubation. [0003] One problem with conventional medical ventilator systems relates to the performance of the endotracheal tube. More precisely, during tracheal intubation, incorrect positioning within the trachea can produce air pressure leaks. Air pressure leaks can dislodge the endotracheal...
