TL;DR
Based on the findings and analysis presented here, the authors recommend recording ventilator setting data after they have existed for three minutes and measured parameters using a three minute median data selection strategy.
Abstract
Computerized methods for collecting ventilator setting data were relatively straightforward and more-efficient than manual methods. However, the method for automated selection and presentation of observed measured parameters is much more difficult. Based on the findings and analysis presented here, the authors recommend recording ventilator setting data after they have existed for three minutes and measured parameters using a three minute median data selection strategy. Such an algorithm rejected most artifacts, required minimal computational time, had minimal time-delay, and provided clinically acceptable data acquisition. The results presented here are but a starting point in developing automated ventilator data selection strategies.
