Abstract

See full text

A ventilator system using an implantable respiration sensor ventilator and a method for providing a proportional respiration assist are provided according to an embodiment of the invention. The implantable respiration sensor includes a respiration sensor element capable of being implanted in a patient. The respiration sensor element generates a respiration signal related to a respiration of the patient. The implantable respiration sensor further includes a respiration signal relay device capable of being implanted in the patient and in communication with the respiration sensor element. The respiration signal relay device is capable of communicating the respiration signal to a ventilator that is external to the patient. Using the implantable respiration sensor, a predetermined gas charge may be delivered to the patient based on the respiration signal.
