Abstract

This disclosure describes systems and methods for managing a move of a patient being monitored or treated by a medical system, such as a medical ventilator. The disclosure describes a novel approach for preventing a patient from being moved from a first location to second different location that is connected to a monitoring and/or treatment system, before all of the necessary hoses have been disconnected from the patient. Further, the disclosure describes a novel approach of ensuring that all of the necessary hoses are reconnected to a patient being monitored or treated by a monitoring and/or treatment system after being moved from the first location to the second different location.
