Granted: 2013-11-26
Abstract: Automatic ongoing adjustment of the cycling-off time of ventilator inflation phase during assisted ventilation in accordance with true respiratory rate of a patient. Electrical signals are generated corresponding to the gas flow exchanged between patient and ventilator (flow) and/or to airway pressure (Paw) and the true respiratory rate of the patient (patient RR) is determined on an ongoing basis from the flow and/or Paw. The current average cycle duration of patient respiratory efforts (current patient TTOT) is estimated from patient RR. A current desirable duration of the inhalation phase (desirable TI) is calculated from the product of current patient TTOT a TI/TTOT ratio chosen to be in the physiological range, usually 0.25 to 0.50.  The ventilator phase is caused to terminate in accordance with the desirable TI.
