    摘要: A method and device for determining a level of ventilatory assist to be delivered to a patient by a mechanical ventilator in response to a measure of a patient's neural respiratory drive multiplied by an amplification factor, wherein an existing predicted ventilatory assist pressure is calculated and an existing resulting pressure delivered to the patient by the mechanical ventilator is measured. The amplification factor is changed from an existing amplification factor to a new amplification factor, a new predicted ventilatory assist pressure is calculated using the new amplification factor, and a new resulting pressure delivered to the patient by the mechanical ventilator after the amplification factor has been changed is measured. The new and existing predicted ventilatory assist pressures are compared to determine an anticipated change in pressure that will be delivered to the patient, and the new and existing resulting pressures are compared to determine an actual change in pressure delivered to the patient by the mechanical ventilator. The anticipated and actual changes in pressure are compared and a decision to increase, maintain or decrease the amplification factor is delivered in response to the comparison between the anticipated change and the actual change in pressure.

    摘要: A closed loop system uses (a) the intensity of the diaphragm electromyogram (EMG) for a given inspiratory volume; (b) the inspiratory volume for a given EMG intensity; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b); in view of controlling the level of gas flow, gas volume or gas pressure delivered by a mechanical (lung) ventilator. The closed loop ventilator system enables for automatic or manual adjustment of the level of inspiratory support in proportion to changes in the neuro-ventilatory efficiency such that the neural drive remains stable at a desired target level. An alarm can also be used to detect changes in neuroventilatory efficiency in view of performing manual adjustments.

    摘要: A gain controller and method for controlling the value of a gain is used in conjunction with an electrode array for detecting a signal representative of respiratory drive output of a patient during inspiration, and a lung ventilator for assisting inspiration of the patient. The gain controller comprises an input for receiving the signal representative of respiratory drive output; a comparator for determining whether the signal representative of respiratory drive output is higher or lower than a target drive signal; and a gain adjustment unit for increasing the value of a gain when the amplitude of the signal representative of respiratory drive output is higher than the amplitude of the target drive signal and for decreasing the value of this gain when the amplitude of the signal representative of respiratory drive output is lower than the amplitude of the target drive signal. The gain is applied to the signal representative of respiratory drive output to produce an amplified respiratory drive output representative signal used for controlling the lung ventilator. The advantage of target drive ventilation is that this mode of ventilation does not depend on pressure, flow or volume measurements. A leaky ventilatory line will introduce a change in respiratory drive which will change the ventilatory assist in order to return the respiratory drive to its target level. Also, changes in the patient's metabolic or patho-physiological status which result in altered respiratory drive will be compensated.
