Many people fear technology is replacing them and not enhancing us. This is not true for the
ventilator cockpit or "Ventilation Cockpit" .
The Ventilation Cockpit is a tool on Hamilton Medicals C2 & G5 ventilators, which makes the operator better at recognizing changes in patients ventilatory status & frees up time, for more one on one patient care. The cockpit integrates various data (lung mechanics, settings, and spontaneous activity) into informative graphics.
The cockpit displays two graphics:
One is the "Vent Status" pictured below.
With this graphic the user is able to identify the amount of ventilatory support needed, oxygenation status, CO2 elimination, patient activity, & if the patient meets indications for weaning or liberation from the mechanical ventilator.
The second graphic provides real-time information on the patients lung mechanics, EtCO2 measurement, & spontaneous effort.
The Cockpit is a very useful tool, allowing the operator to visualize multiple processes without going to various screens or pages.
