20140323874 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING FLUID RESPONSIVENESS - Provided are systems and methods for processing a physiological signal in order to determine fluid responsiveness of a subject. In some embodiments, a respiration rate of the subject is received or determined, the signal is filtered based on the respiration rate to generate a filtered signal, and the filtered signal is processed to determine fluid responsiveness. In some embodiments, regular respiration is detected and fluid responsiveness is determined when regular respiration is detected. In some embodiments, the respiration of a subject is controlled, and fluid responsiveness is determined during controlled respiration. | 10-30-2014 |
20150013674 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING AND REPORTING STATUS OF A VENTILATED PATIENT - The present disclosure provides a method of issuing an alert for optimizing interaction between a patient and a ventilatory system. The method includes ventilating a patient using a ventilatory system and retrieving one or more of current ventilatory settings, collected ventilatory data, and patient data. The method also includes detecting corruption of interaction between a patient and the ventilatory system, determining one or more root causes of the corruption, and determining and displaying a recommendation for resolving the corruption based on the one or more root causes. | 01-15-2015 |
20150019237 | HOLISTIC PATIENT ADVISORY SYSTEM, METHOD, AND SOFTWARE - A method for computer assisted holistic patient monitoring includes receiving patient parameters from at least one medical device monitoring a patient, receiving historical patient data from a database, receiving clinician-generated data from a remote device, generating advisory feedback based on the received patient parameters, the received historical data, and the received clinician-generated data, and outputting the advisory feedback for review by a clinician. The method may further include the step of receiving a clinician response to the advisory feedback and storing the clinician response in the database. Additionally, the advisory feedback may be delivered to a second remote device operated by a supervising clinician. In embodiments, the advisory feedback may include a differential analysis and modeling of a patient state, a request for additional examination, a status report on disease progress or disease improvements, and/or a status report indicating treatment incompatibilities and patient deteriorating conditions. | 01-15-2015 |
20150019256 | PATIENT STATUS UPDATE PORTAL - A patient communication system includes a patient communication device, a facility update device, a server, and a portal. The patient communication device is in the bedside environment of a patient within the medical facility. The patient uses the patient communication device to post statuses and send messages to individuals outside of the medical facility to the server. The facility update device provides updates to the server from clinicians and medical devices in the bedside environment of the patient. The server compiles the information from the patient communication device and from the facility update device and automatically posts the status updates to a portal associated with the patient. The portal is accessed by the individuals associated with the patient to receive updates concerning the status of the patient. | 01-15-2015 |
20150019257 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREDICTIVE CARE MANAGEMENT - Systems and methods for notifying clinicians of potential patient care risk scenarios and identifying remedial protocols to mitigate the risk. Patient data is downloaded from medical devices associated with the patient, such as, without limitation, a ventilator, bedside monitor, infusion pump, and/or dialysis machine. In addition physician medical orders and treatment notes are received. The patient data, medical orders, and treatment notes are analyzed by a state machine programmed to identify patient risk scenarios based upon known risk factors. Alerts and recommended courses of treatment are generated to enable caregivers to recognize high risk scenarios and to take preventative steps to reduce or avoid suboptimal outcomes. A plurality of state machines may be instantiated, enabling the system to monitor an arbitrary number of patients and treatment protocols. | 01-15-2015 |
20150034082 | OXYGENATION-VENTILATION METHODS AND SYSTEMS - The systems and methods include providing oxygenation-ventilation of a patient being monitored or treated with a medical system. The novel systems and methods may be configured to be able to simultaneously treat and/or monitor a patient with both a ventilator and an ECGE system. The novel systems and methods may monitor the patient and/or manage the treatment of a patient with a ventilator-ECGE system. | 02-05-2015 |
20150045687 | DETECTION OF EXPIRATORY AIRFLOW LIMITATION IN VENTILATED PATIENT - This disclosure describes systems and methods for monitoring and evaluating data associated with ventilatory parameters to detect expiratory airflow limitation in a ventilated patient. For example, a ventilator may monitor flow and/or pressure during ventilation of the patient. Based on the flow and/or pressure measurements, or ventilatory data derived therefrom, the ventilator may calculate expiratory resistance. Moreover, the ventilator may trend expiratory resistance over time to produce an expiratory resistance waveform. In embodiments, the ventilator may calculate the slope of the expiratory resistance waveform during an initial part of exhalation. If the slope of the expiratory resistance waveform during the initial part of exhalation breaches a defined slope threshold, the ventilator may determine that the patient exhibits expiratory airflow limitation. | 02-12-2015 |
