Abstract

The present invention provides clinical decision support that can be used with non-portable and portable systems when delivering and/or monitoring delivery of a therapeutic gas comprising nitric oxide to a patient. Further, clinical decision support can be used with non-portable and portable systems during delivery and/or monitoring of delivery of therapeutic gas when nebulized drugs may and/or may not be being delivered to a patient (e.g., when nebulizers are delivered upstream in the inspiratory limb of the breathing circuit, into a breathing gas delivery system, etc.).

Claims (9)

1. A computer implemented method of providing clinical decision support to users of a nitric oxide delivery system, the method comprising:

storing, in processor readable memory accessible by processors of the nitric oxide delivery system, logic based information for a nebulizer mode to start delivery of an inspiratory gas mixture comprising nitric oxide into a breathing circuit comprising a nebulizer device for delivery of the inspiratory gas mixture to a patient;

displaying, in a graphical user interface of the nitric oxide delivery system, an option to activate the nebulizer mode;

receiving, via input in the graphical user interface and storing in processor readable memory, run information including start nebulizer mode information and duration run nebulizer mode information;

processing, using processors of the nitric oxide delivery system, the logic based information for the nebulizer mode and the run nebulizer mode information thereby starting the nebulizer mode, wherein when the nebulizer mode starts, the nitric oxide delivery system stops sampling the inspiratory gas mixture for a duration of time based on the received duration run nebulizer mode information while continuing to deliver the inspiratory gas mixture to the patient through the nebulizer device; and

displaying, in the graphical user interface of the nitric oxide delivery system, delivery information indicating delivery of nitric oxide when sampling of the inspiratory gas mixture has stopped for a duration of time.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delivery information is provided in a bar graph indicating over delivery, under delivery, or appropriate delivery.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delivery information comprises concentration information in parts per million (PPM).

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the concentration information is determined according to measurements of a first flow sensor monitoring a flow of breathing gas and a second flow sensor monitoring a flow of nitric oxide.
