Abstract
The disclosed invention relates to systems and methods for obtaining physiological information from patients and displaying that information in an intuitive and logical format to a physician. Object displays are disclosed that are capable of visually displaying critical information in real time to allow physicians to quickly perceive the importance of changing patient values.
Claims15
A data object for visually displaying information of a ventilator in real time in a manner designed to minimize the cognitive steps required by a user to interpret the information, comprising:
- an object display wherein the object display is divided into at least one object for visually displaying information in real time concerning a volume ventilator and at least one object for visually displaying information in real time concerning a pressure ventilator and wherein the object display includes at least one, intuitive graphical representation or perceptual diagram of certain information.
A system for obtaining physiological information from a ventilator and displaying said information in real time in a manner designed to minimize the cognitive steps required by a user to interpret the information, comprising:
- data acquisition means to acquire data relating to the ventilator and/or a patient connected to the ventilator;
- a computer running software configured to map said acquired data onto a data object by relating a least one of said acquired data to at least one other of said acquired data wherein the data object includes at least one, intuitive graphical representation or perceptual diagram;
- and
- display means for displaying said data object wherein the object is divided into at least one object for visually displaying information in real time concerning a volume ventilator and at least one object for visually displaying information in real time concerning a pressure ventilator.
A method for obtaining physiological information from a ventilator and displaying said information in real time in a manner designed to minimize the cognitive steps required by a user to interpret the information, said method comprising:
- acquiring data relating to the ventilator and/or a patient connected to the ventilator;
- mapping said acquired data onto a data object by relating at least one of said acquired data to at least one other of said acquired data, wherein the data object includes at least one, intuitive graphical representation or perceptual diagram;
- and
- displaying said data object, wherein the object is divided into at least one object for visually displaying information in real time concerning a volume ventilator and at least one object for visually displaying information in real time concerning a pressure ventilator.
