This disclosure describes systems and methods for monitoring and evaluating ventilatory parameters, analyzing those parameters and providing useful notifications and recommendations to clinicians. That is, modern ventilators monitor, evaluate, and graphically represent multiple ventilatory parameters. However, many clinicians may not easily recognize data patterns and correlations indicative of certain patient conditions, changes in patient condition, and/or effectiveness of ventilatory treatment. Further, clinicians may not readily determine appropriate ventilatory adjustments that may address certain patient conditions and/or the effectiveness of ventilatory treatment. Specifically, clinicians may not readily detect or recognize the presence of double triggering during ventilation. According to embodiments, a ventilator may be configured to monitor and evaluate diverse ventilatory parameters to detect double triggering and may issue notifications and recommendations suitable for a patient to the clinician when double triggering is implicated. The suitable notifications and recommendations may further be provided in a hierarchical format.
A ventilatory system with a smart prompt module for issuing a smart prompt when double triggering is implicated during a volume-control (VC) breath type of a patient, comprising:
A graphical user interface for displaying one or more smart prompts corresponding to a detected condition, a ventilator configured with a computer having a user interface including the graphical user interface for accepting commands and for displaying information, the graphical user interface comprising:
A ventilatory system for issuing a smart prompt when double triggering is implicated during a volume-control (VC) breath type of a patient, comprising:
