Patent ID: 7662106

Claim:
Apparatus for monitoring and displaying data obtained from respiration of an individual, comprising: at least one respiratory monitor; at least one processing element in communication with the at least one respiratory monitor and configured to: evaluate a signal generated by the at least one respiratory monitor while monitoring respiration of the individual; calculate at least one respiratory parameter based on the signal; and estimate at least one blood gas parameter based on at least one of the signal and the at least one respiratory parameter; and a display element in communication with at least one of the at least one processing element and the at least one respiratory monitor, and including an indicator comprising a graph including at least one bar, each bar comprising a plurality of sections representing a plurality of complementary parameters of the at least one respiratory parameter or the at least one blood gas parameter obtained at substantially the same time, a first section illustrating a first parameter corresponding to breathing effected by the individual and a second section illustrating a second parameter corresponding to breathing effected by a mechanical ventilator.
