4. Health IT Use Case – Mechanical Ventilation Weaning
Description of Device:
Software that recommends when to discontinue post-operative mechanical ventilation based on comparing patient data to acceptable threshold ranges of a number of factors, including spontaneous respirations, normal body temperature, blood alkalinity/acidity, ventilation mode, partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, spontaneous tidal volume, inspired oxygen fraction, negative inspiratory force, positive end-expiratory pressure.
Device Uses:
Post-operative patients require mechanical ventilation due to airway problems, inability or failure to ventilate or oxygenate subsequent to surgery, or due to phrenic nerve paralysis, possibly resulting due to the effects of sedation and paralytics associated with surgery. When the patient recovers, it is necessary to wean off of mechanical ventilation.
Labeling:
Software recommends optimal point to wean patient from mechanical ventilation
