<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for determining ventilator settings including an end expiratory pressure setting, pressure swing, resistive unloading, and target ventilation for delivering ventilatory support based upon generalized patient ventilation characteristics and/or disease classifications. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus is programmed with the instructions to accomplish the method interactively by prompting a user/physician during setup and calculating settings based upon measurements or input responses. Pre-assigned values associated with ventilation characteristics or disease classifications are combined with a base pressure value or the measured value to provide patient customized settings or adjustments to determine pressure levels for the delivery of ventilatory support. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
