Problems solved by technology

However, each patient responds differently, and one patient may be able to come off the ventilator very quickly, while others may need to repeat the weaning trial several times before they are healthy enough to be off the ventilator
Currently there is no way for patients to influence the disengagement process to complete the trial faster or slower

Embodiment Construction

[0016] While positive pressure ventilators are generally considered uncomfortable for patients, current ventilators do not allow patients to control any aspect of the ventilator's operation to improve their comfort. Similarly, while there is general agreement that it is advantageous to wean a patient off a ventilator as quickly as possible, current ventilators do not allow patients to control any aspect of the weaning process to enable them to do so more quickly. The disclosed systems and methods provide the patient with the ability to control certain parameters of the ventilator to maximize their comfort or to participate in the weaning process, as well as provide feedback to the patient to encourage and encourage the patient during the weaning process. help them.

[0017] figure 1 A patient 10 is depicted using a positive pressure mechanical ventilator 15 that may be used with the system of the present disclosure. The patient 10 wears a patient device 16 such as an oral en...

Abstract

A method of controlling a ventilator is disclosed that includes the steps of providing a patient with a ventilator patient control interface through which a patient controls at least one control parameter of a ventilator and configuring a processor to control the ventilator in response to the ventilator patient control interface such that the patient controls the at least one control parameter of the ventilator in accordance with pre-set limits on changes to the at least one control parameter.

Description

technical field [0001] Generally, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing mechanical ventilation to assist a patient, and in particular, to patient control of ventilator settings. Background technique [0002] People who have been seriously injured or have had major surgery may have difficulty breathing on their own. To ensure that the lungs get enough oxygen, a ventilator may be used to mechanically assist or replace natural breathing. Positive pressure ventilators work by increasing the patient's airway pressure through a patient device such as a mask or an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. Positive pressure moves air into the lungs. When the ventilator reduces the pressure, the elastic contraction of the chest wall collapses the lungs and expels large amounts of air. The volume of air introduced into the lungs per cycle is the "tidal volume". [0003] People with severe lung damage or a medical condition such as chronic obstructive pulmona...
