SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR EXTUBATION DEVICE UTILIZATION FOLLOWING LIBERATION FROM MECHANICAL VENTILATION

摘要

In one embodiment, a method for determining patient response to an extubation procedure from a mechanical ventilator is disclosed. The method includes receiving one or more physiologic, pulmonary mechanism or oxygenation-related parameters measurements for a predetermined period of time and retrieving a known data set. A first extubation index is calculated with the physiologic, pulmonary mechanism measurements or oxygenation-related parameters and compared with the known data set. An assessment is produced concerning utilization of a device after extubation.
