Patent ID: 8757153

Claim:
A ventilatory system for issuing a prompt when double triggering is implicated during ventilation of a patient, comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and containing instructions that, are executed by the at least one processor, the instructions include: detect that double triggering is implicated for a patient; determine an appropriate notification; determine an appropriate list of entries for mitigating the double triggering; identify one or more ventilatory settings associated with a ventilatory treatment of the patient, wherein the one or more ventilatory settings are a ventilation breath type, wherein the ventilation breath type includes one or more of: volume-targeted-pressure-control (VC+), pressure-support (PS), and volume-support (VS); and issue the appropriate notification and the appropriate list of entries for mitigating the double triggering; wherein the appropriate list of entries for mitigating the double triggering comprises a primary entry; wherein if the ventilator identifies that the ventilation breath type is PS, the primary entry is a suggestion to decrease a set expiratory sensitivity (E SENS ); wherein if the ventilator identifies that the ventilation breath type is VS, the primary entry is a suggestion to decrease the set expiratory sensitivity (E SENS ); and wherein if the ventilator identifies that the ventilation breath type is VC+, the primary entry is a suggestion to increase set inspiration time (T I ).
