Output device for a ventilator

A ventilator comprising an output device for outputting measured values which pertain to a ventilation process of the ventilator connected to a person receiving medical care, the output device comprising:

• an output unit configured to receive an output signal and to provide a visual output by means of an output display screen based on the output signal;
• and
• a processing unit configured:
• to receive a first data set and a second data set in real time, wherein the first data set indicates personal start times, at which a respective current breath of the person begins, and indicates personal end times, at which the respective current breath of the person ends by a starting to exhale, and the second data set indicates device-side start times, at which the ventilator begins with a current inspiratory phase for assisting the respective current breath of the person, and indicates device-side end times, at which the ventilator ends the current inspiratory phase;
• to determine a start deviation and an end deviation between the inspiratory phase of the ventilator and the current breath of the person based on the corresponding device-side start times and personal start times and the corresponding device-side end times and personal end times;
• to provide the output signal in real time such that the start deviations and the end deviations for a predefined plurality of breaths within a predefined output structure are outputted as a respective structured visualization, which respective structured visualization comprises a visual display for the respective start deviation and for the respective end deviation of the respective breaths, and the structured visualization of the start deviation and of the end deviation of a last breath taken at a constant predefined starting position over time within the predefined output structure is outputted, and chronologically preceding structured visualizations of the start deviation and of the end deviation are shifted to a next position fixed within the output structure starting from the starting position, when the structured visualization of the start deviation and of the end deviation of a new last breath taken at the starting position is outputted.

A process for outputting measured values which are provided by a ventilator and pertain to a ventilation process of the ventilator, which is connected to a person receiving medical care, the process comprising the steps of:

• receiving a first data set and a second data set in real time, wherein the first data set indicates personal start times, at which a respective current breath of the person begins, and indicates personal end times, at which the respective current breath of the person ends by a starting to exhale and the second data set indicates device-side start times, at which the ventilator begins with a current inspiratory phase for assisting the respective current breath of the person, and indicates device-side end times, at which the ventilator ends the current inspiratory phase;
• determining a start deviation and an end deviation between the inspiratory phase of the ventilator and the current breath of the person based on the corresponding device-side and personal start times and on the corresponding device-side and personal end times;
• providing an output signal in real time such that within a predefined output structure the start deviations and end deviations for a predefined plurality of breaths are outputted as a respective structured visualization, wherein the respective structured visualization comprises a visual display for the respective start deviation and for the respective end deviation of the respective breaths, the structured visualization of the start deviation and of the end deviation of the last breath taken at a constant predefined starting position over time within the predefined output structure is outputted, and chronologically preceding structured visualizations of the start deviation and of the end deviation are shifted to a next position fixed within the output structure starting from this starting position, upon the structured visualization of the start deviation and of the end deviation of a new last breath taken at the starting position is outputted.
