Abstract
A process for ventilating a patient as well as a device—patient module (20)—operating according to the process, wherein, for example, a body weight value concerning an estimated body weight of the patient is transmitted to a patient module (20) intended for ventilating the patient, wherein the patient module (20) automatically selects ventilation parameters (52) fitting the body weight value on the basis of the body weight value and wherein the ventilation of the patient is carried out with the selected ventilation parameters (52).
Claims20
A process for ventilating a patient, the process comprising:
- transmitting an estimated value concerning a biometric feature of the patient to a patient module intended for ventilating the patient;
- with the patient module, automatically selecting ventilation parameters fitting the estimated value on the basis of the estimated value;
- and
- carrying out a ventilation of the patient with the selected ventilation parameters, and wherein a body weight value concerning an estimated body weight of the patient and/or a length value concerning an estimate height of the patient are transmitted as the estimated value concerning a biometric feature of the patient.
A device for ventilating a patient, the device comprising a processing unit configured to:
- receive a transmission of an estimated value concerning an estimated biometric feature of the patient;
- automatically select ventilation parameters fitting the estimated value on the basis of the estimated value;
- and
- select, for carrying out the ventilation of the patient by means of the device, ventilation parameters.
A system comprising:
- a central pressure source;
- and
- a plurality of devices connected to the pressure source, each of the devices comprising a processing unit configured to:
- receive a transmission of an estimated value concerning an estimated biometric feature of the patient;
- automatically select ventilation parameters fitting the estimated value on the basis of the estimated value;
- and
- select, for carrying out the ventilation of the patient by means of the device, ventilation parameters, wherein a body weight value concerning an estimated body weight of the patient and/or a length value concerning an estimate height of the patient are received as the estimated value concerning a biometric feature of the patient.
