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.
