Parameters
patients[].airway
{ status: natural | adjunct | intubated | surgical, deviceId?: Device ID }
Optional; omitted means unspecified
Non-natural airway requires a device reference; presence does not imply correct placement or function.
resources[].equipment.ventilation
{ mode: string, settings: Setting[], measurementIds: Observation ID[], alarms: Alarm[] }
Required for ventilator devices
Setting is { name: string, value: number, unit: string }; settings and observations remain distinct.
resources[].equipment.ventilation.alarms[]

Required; may be empty
Authored alarm conditions and visible messages, evaluated from explicit conditions.
Behavior and validation
- Declare a mode's allowed and required settings in a device profile; an unknown profile cannot execute. This format does not specify every ventilator manufacturer's modes.
- Setting units include tidal volume mL, set rate breaths/min, inspired oxygen fraction 0–1, and PEEP cmH2O.
