Method for controlling ventilator to maintain lung volume during manoeuvre
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11998691B2) discloses a method and ventilator arrangement for controlling a ventilator to maintain an end expiratory lung volume (EELV) of a subject during external maneuvers. The method involves initiating a ventilation pause before the maneuver, determining potential changes in airway pressure, and adjusting the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level accordingly. This adjustment accounts for the sum of the original PEEP level and the identified airway pressure changes caused by the maneuver, which typically involves altering the subject's position to affect lung volume.
The patent also details features such as user-initiated ventilation pauses, predetermined time periods for resuming ventilation, and the ability to pause ventilation during different phases of the breathing cycle. Additionally, the method can be applied to various sub-steps of an external maneuver with pauses in between, ensuring precise control over the ventilation process. The ventilator arrangement includes functionalities like indicating the resumption of ventilation and determining start conditions, such as detecting breathing circuit leakage. Overall, this innovation aims to optimize ventilator control during external maneuvers to maintain optimal lung volume and respiratory support for the subject, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of ventilation procedures.
