Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a mechanical ventilator to deliver respiratory therapy to a patient, the method comprising the steps of: presenting a vent procedure trajectory comprising a plurality of data points representative of ventilator control values presented in an at least two-dimensional coordinate system on a graphical display wherein each data point is representative of at least one respiratory cycle in the vent procedure trajectory; receiving a selection of a data point from the plurality of data points; receiving, a modification to a location of the selected data point in the two-dimensional coordinate system to modify a ventilator control value associated with the selected data point; recalculating the ventilator control value associated with the selected data point based upon the modified value of the selected data point; presenting a modified vent procedure trajectory in response to the recalculated ventilator control value associated with the selected data point; and controlling a mechanical ventilator to deliver medical as to the patient across a plurality of respiratory cycles according to the ventilator control values represented by the modified vent procedure trajectory.
