Problems solved by technology

Heart failure is an abnormality of cardiac function that causes cardiac output to fall below a level adequate to meet the metabolic demand of peripheral tissues and internal organs.
Over time, the elasticity of the lung tissue is lost, and the lungs become distended, unable to expand and contract normally.
As the disease progresses, breathing becomes labored, and the patient grows progressively weaker.
Lack of respiratory effort may result from a disruption of signals from the central nervous system to the respiratory muscles

Embodiment Construction

[0032] In the following description of the illustrated embodiments, references are made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration, various embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural and functional changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0033] Early detection and diagnosis of various types of diseases and syndromes may enhance the likelihood of successful treatment. However, the onset of some types of medical disorders may be very gradual and / or occur in discrete episodes, or at times that are inconvenient for collecting data, making early detection more difficult. Early diagnosis may depend on the recognition of changes in various physiological conditions that may not be apparent during yearly or even monthly check-ups.

[0034] In one example, breathing rhythm disorders often are present only while the ...

Abstract

An event-based approach to collecting and organizing information associated with events affecting respiration is presented. The detection or prediction of an event affecting the respiration of a patient initiates acquisition of information associated with the event. The respiratory logbook system acquires information with the event during the event and during intervals proximate in time to the event. The information is organized as a respiratory log entry. The user can access the information by operating a user interface. The information may be presented in textual or graphical form.

Description

RELATED PATENT DOCUMENTS [0001] This application claims the benefit of Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 504,749, filed on Sep. 18, 2003, to which priority is claimed pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §119(e) and which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to acquiring and organizing information related to medical events affecting the patient. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The human body functions through a number of interdependent physiological systems controlled through various mechanical, electrical, and chemical processes. The metabolic state of the body is constantly changing. For example, as exercise level increases, the body consumes more oxygen and gives off more carbon dioxide. The cardiac and pulmonary systems maintain appropriate blood gas levels by making adjustments that bring more oxygen into the system and dispel more carbon dioxide. The cardiovascular system transports blood gases to and from the body...
