SAFE VENTILATION IN THE PRESENCE OF RESPIRATORY EFFORT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18219231 titled 'SAFE VENTILATION IN THE PRESENCE OF RESPIRATORY EFFORT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a mechanical ventilation device that utilizes imaging data to calculate pressure values of a patient's chest during mechanical ventilation therapy. If the calculated pressure values do not meet certain criteria, the device will output an alert and recommend adjustments to the therapy parameters.

  • The device includes an electronic controller that receives imaging data of the diaphragm during inspiration and expiration.
  • It calculates pressure values of the patient's chest based on the imaging data.
  • If the calculated pressure values do not meet acceptance criteria, the device outputs an alert.
  • The device also provides recommended adjustments to the mechanical ventilation therapy parameters.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in medical settings where patients require mechanical ventilation therapy, such as intensive care units, operating rooms, and emergency departments.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures accurate monitoring of pressure values in the patient's chest during mechanical ventilation therapy. 2. Provides real-time alerts and recommendations for adjustments to improve the effectiveness of the therapy.

Benefits

1. Enhances patient safety by detecting pressure value discrepancies promptly. 2. Optimizes mechanical ventilation therapy parameters for better patient outcomes.

The article does not discuss any obstacles or difficulties that may arise when incorporating this device into current mechanical ventilation setups.


Original Abstract Submitted

A mechanical ventilation device includes at least one electronic controller configured to receive imaging data related to a dimension of a diaphragm of a patient during inspiration and expiration while the patient undergoes mechanical ventilation therapy with an associated mechanical ventilator; calculate a pressure value (P, DP) of a chest of the patient based on at least the imaging data; and when the calculated pressure value (P, DP) does not satisfy an acceptance criterion, at least one of output an alert indicative of the calculated pressure value (P, DP) failing to satisfy the acceptance criterion; and output a recommended adjustment to one or more parameters of the mechanical ventilation therapy delivered to the patient.
