SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING PATIENTS FOR RISK OF VENTILATOR ASSOCIATED EVENTS

摘要

A system for monitoring a patient on ventilation includes a ventilator system configured to provide mechanical ventilation in accordance with a FiO2 setting and a PEEP setting, a temperature sensor configured to sense body temperature, one or more input devices configured to receive patient information, e.g., WBC count information, an information processing system, and a display device. The information processing system is communicatively coupled to the ventilator system, temperature sensor, and input device, and is configured to receive, process, and output FiO2 information, PEEP information, temperature information, and WBC count information. The display device is configured to display the information output from the information processing system graphically as a function of time. The system may further be configured to provide notifications and alerts and/or to generate and transmit reports based on the information received by the information processing system. Methods for monitoring a patient on ventilation are also provided.
