2. Introduction “Formal” definition of Ventilator Mode “names” involves developing a systematic syntax, or “Systematic Name (SN)”, based on a formal methodology, in this case, Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO). Terminology is based on the related “Handbook” and “Glossary” definitions being co-developed in the Vent Nomenclature JWG. This document describes derivation of the SN syntax through the OOO model, chief components of which include a “Finite State Model” (FSM), which is based on an OO “Class Model”. A common Ventilator Modality-- “Volume-targeted, Bi-Level Pressure Control (PC) with Pressure Support (PS) and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)/Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)”-- is derived according to the [VSN derivation methodology.

3. Vent Modality SN - Topology – PC-related Derivation of several major Modality SN’s is shown in the following diagram, which reflects the nature of OO “generalization/specialization”. In the diagram, the same [classical] BT, e.g. PC/CBAP, is reused in different Modal contexts, ranging among several [classical, continuously positive airway] Pressure gradations, e.g. i-iii, which are also commonly known in general by the “_aka” construct. See next slide for volume-controlled/-targeted (VC, VT) adjuncts and the slide following that for FSM derivation.

The distinction between “VC” and “VT” in this context is that VC implies achieving Tidal Volume object intra-breath, while “VT” implies “Breath-to-Breath” (Br2Br, or inter-breath). See previous slide for example SN derivation and subsequent slides for FSM and SN derivation methodology.

5. Vent Modality SN - Methodology – Finite State Model (FSM) VMP finite state topology is based on recurring traversals of a graph representing several fundamental breath type (BT) variations w.r.t. Inspiration (Initiation, Delivery, Termination) and Expiration. In general, “Mode” Classes (i-iii) progress from left-to-right, and BT elevated [airway] Pressure “gradations” progress from bottom-to-top; particular “b-tree” graphs are “Modalities”, abstractly “Vent Modality Profiles (VMP).

7. Vent Modality SN - Methodology – Applications – VMP Tool In the VMP “Template Tool”, a SN string is generated by doing a b-tree traversal (left-hand for MT, right- hand for BT)). “Global” (/transitive) properties/attributes, such as “CBAP” and “Volume Targeted [Control]” are post-fixed. Two variations of a pragmatically synonymous Modality are shown below.
