Ventilation system
A ventilator system includes a ventilation device, and is configured to operate in a passive mode configured to transmit ventilation data in response to requests from a ventilation management system, or an active mode configured to automatically transmit ventilation data as the data becomes available. The system receives ventilation system data associated with operation of the ventilation device, modifies one or more operating parameters of the ventilation device based on the received ventilation system data, receives ventilator data associated with the ventilator device, determines an alarm associated with the ventilator device or a patient based on the received ventilator data and, responsive to determining the alarm, sends the alarm to a beginning of a transmission queue for transmitting the ventilation data to the ventilation management system, wherein the alarm is communicated over the network prior to other ventilation data in the transmission queue.

transmit all of the ventilator data at once to the ventilation management system after the alarm is transmitted.
9. The ventilation system of claim 1 , wherein the ventilator data is queued for transmission to the ventilation management system, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
transmit a subset of the ventilator data to the ventilation management system at periodic intervals after the alarm is transmitted.
10. The ventilation system of claim 1 , wherein the ventilation management system comprises a client device.
11. A method for communicating ventilation data, comprising:
operating a ventilator system in one of a plurality of modes for communicating ventilation information with a ventilation management system;
