Overview

Making sense of complex ventilator data

In a critical care environment, clinicians can be overwhelmed by the amount of data produced from patient monitors, IV pumps, and the ventilator.

The trending software option for the Puritan Bennett™ 840 ventilator can help make sense of the complex data. It keeps track of more than 50 monitored parameters for up to 72 hours. Its seven configurations can be set up easily and customized to help clinicians assess the effectiveness of interventions over time.

Features

The trending software option for the Puritan Bennett™ 840 ventilator may help clinicians assess the effectiveness of current therapy.

Trending software offers:

  • Monitored patient data/events for up to 72 hours
  • Up to 57 trended parameters in a drop-down menu
  • Seven presets including the most commonly trended parameters
  • Fast scrolling cursor for quick navigation
  • Graphical and tabular displays
  • Automatic and manually placed event markers
    • Up to 24 events recorded automatically when mode/settings are changed
    • Menu of 15 manual events to mark activities (e.g., suctioning or weaning)

The trending software option can display the most recent 500 settings changes in a 72-hour period.
