PCD RTM Ventilator
Rosetta Terminology Mapping [RTM] Ventilator Task Group
In mapping ventilator / respiratory related terms for the IHE PCD RTM profile, quite a few gaps were identified. To address this issue, a task group was formed within the RTM profile group to address these needs and come up with proposals for how they should be addressed. This includes
- Establishing a more comprehensive framework or paradigm for representing ventilator operational modes
- Defining a mechanism for representing breath-to-breath annotations
- Proposing new terms & formal defintions for the remaining "gaps"
Once this analysis is complete and proposals completed, they shall be forwarded to the appropriate SDOs for further action.
Basic RTM information is located on the main RTM page.
