Abstract

Patient information is associated with a respective ventilator device of a medical ventilator devices. Based on the ventilator data and associating the patient information, a ventilation configuration of the respective ventilator device and patient ventilation data related to a ventilation of the respective patient are determined. A current configuration of each of the plurality of medical ventilators is provided for display. In this regard, a display includes the determined ventilation configuration of the respective ventilator device and patient ventilation data of the respective patient. A control may also be displayed for changing a setting associated with the respective ventilator device and, when a change of the setting is received and implemented by the respective ventilator device, an indication of the change of the setting may be provided. Patient orientation may also be sensed and used to determine whether a setting needs to be changed or suction is needed.

a memory comprising instructions; and

one or more processors configured to, on execution of the instructions, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

receive ventilator data generated by a plurality of medical ventilator devices;

associate patient information of at least one patient of a plurality of patients with a respective ventilator device of the medical ventilator devices, the patient information including a patient identifier and a location of the at least one patient;

determine, based on the ventilator data, for each respective ventilator device of the medical ventilator devices, a ventilation configuration of the respective ventilator device and patient ventilation data related to a ventilation of a respective patient associated with the respective ventilator device and including a sensed orientation of the patient while the patient is lying down;

determine, based on the sensed orientation of the patient and the ventilation configuration, whether a suction should or will be initiated for the patient;

provide for display, to a plurality of display devices comprising at least one remote device that is remote from the plurality of medical ventilator devices, a concurrent display of the ventilator configuration of each ventilator of the plurality of medical ventilators and a location associated with each ventilator, and at least a portion of the patient ventilation data of the respective patient associated with each ventilator;

receive, from the remote device, a change to a ventilator setting of the respective ventilator device; and

adjust an amount of gas provided to the respective patient by the respective ventilator device responsive to the received change to the ventilator setting.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

providing, with the current configuration, for display a control for changing a setting associated with the respective ventilator device; and

when a change of the setting is received and implemented by the respective ventilator device, providing an indication of the change of the setting.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining, based on the sensed orientation of the patient, that current or normal operation of the respective ventilator device should be modified; and

providing, to the respective ventilator device, modified ventilator operation instructions to modify the current or normal operation of the respective ventilator device based on the sensed orientation.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the modified ventilator operation instructions instruct the respective ventilator device to adjust a length of a ventilation protocol or an amount of gas provided during at least a portion of the ventilation protocol.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

providing, responsive to determining that the suction should or will be initiated, a notification regarding the suction to a mobile device of a caregiver associated with the respective ventilator device.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the patient ventilation data comprises a sensed breathing sound of the patient, and wherein determining that the suction should or will be initiated is based on the sensed breathing sound and the sensed orientation of the patient.

7. A method for managing medical ventilation of patients, comprising:

receiving, by one or more computing devices, ventilator data generated by a plurality of medical ventilator devices;

associating, by the one or more computing devices, patient information of at least one patient of a plurality of patients with a respective ventilator device of the medical ventilator devices, the patient information including a patient identifier and a location of the at least one patient;

determining, by the one or more computing devices, based on the ventilator data, for each respective ventilator device of the medical ventilator devices, a ventilation configuration of the respective ventilator device and patient ventilation data related to a ventilation of a respective patient associated with the respective ventilator device and including a sensed orientation of the patient while the patient is lying down;

determining, based on the sensed orientation of the patient and the ventilation configuration, whether a suction should or will be initiated for the patient;

providing, by the one or more computing devices, for display, to a plurality of display devices comprising at least one remote device that is remote from the plurality of medical ventilator devices, a concurrent display of the ventilator configuration of each ventilator of the plurality of medical ventilators and a location associated with each ventilator, and at least a portion of the patient ventilation data of the respective patient associated with each ventilator;

receiving, from the remote device, a change to a ventilator setting of the respective ventilator device; and

adjusting an amount of gas provided to the respective patient by the respective ventilator device responsive to the received change to the ventilator setting.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

providing, with the current configuration, for display a control for changing a setting associated with the respective ventilator device; and

when a change of the setting is received and implemented by the respective ventilator device, providing an indication of the change of the setting.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

determining, based on the sensed orientation of the patient, that current or normal operation of the respective ventilator device should be modified; and

providing, to the respective ventilator device, by the one or more computing devices, modified ventilator operation instructions to modify the current or normal operation of the respective ventilator device based on the sensed orientation.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the modified ventilator operation instructions instruct the respective ventilator device to adjust a length of a ventilation protocol or an amount of gas provided during at least a portion of the ventilation protocol.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

providing, by the one or more computing devices, responsive to determining that the suction should or will be initiated, a notification regarding the suction to a mobile device of a caregiver associated with the respective ventilator device.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the patient ventilation data comprises a sensed breathing sound of the patient, and wherein determining that the suction should or will be initiated is based on the sensed breathing sound and the sensed orientation of the patient.

13. A machine-readable storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions for causing a processor to execute a method for managing medical ventilation of patients, the method comprising:

receiving ventilator data generated by a plurality of medical ventilator devices;

associating patient information of at least one patient of a plurality of patients with a respective ventilator device of the medical ventilator devices, the patient information including a patient identifier and a location of the at least one patient;

determining, based on the ventilator data, for each respective ventilator device of the medical ventilator devices, a ventilation configuration of the respective ventilator device and patient ventilation data related to a ventilation of a respective patient associated with the respective ventilator device and including a sensed orientation of the patient while the patient is lying down including a sensed orientation of the patient while the patient is lying down;

determining, based on the sensed orientation of the patient and the ventilation configuration, whether a suction should or will be initiated for the patient;
