A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US11925757B2) describes a ventilator designed for mechanical ventilation of patients. The ventilator includes an exhalation valve, an inhalation valve, inspiratory and expiratory pressure sensors, a control unit, a data interface, and a connection system for delivering and removing breathing gases to and from the patient. The control unit is responsible for regulating the inhalation and exhalation valves to maintain specific pressure levels during the inspiration phase, based on input from the pressure sensors. The system also allows for customization of pressure levels and time periods based on individual patient characteristics, such as lung stiffness or elasticity.

Furthermore, the patent details a system that combines the ventilator with a measuring device for detecting invasive and non-invasive blood pressure measured values of the patient. The communication between the ventilator and the measuring device enables synchronized operation, ensuring coordination between the control of inspiratory pressure levels and the measurement of blood pressure values. This integrated system allows for a comprehensive approach to patient care, with the ability to monitor and adjust ventilation parameters in conjunction with real-time blood pressure data, enhancing the overall management of patient respiratory and circulatory health.
