The Units Intensive Cares (UIC) of the Hospitals in Peru, they need of a centralized system that it integrates in a net, the different marks of Lung Ventilator to supervise from oneself place the process of ventilation mechanics, to be a process of high risk; they also need of a graphic monitor of local supervision for the Lung Ventilator that lack this system. The denominated developed system Graphic Supervisor of Lung Ventilator it consists of a sensor of developed gassy flow, a module of acquisition of data to acquire the signs of the process of the ventilation mechanics, software for the graphic user interface monitoreo developed in Linux and Real Time Linux with a net of local area to integrate the Lungs Ventilator. The signs that they supervises are: pressure proximal, breathing flow, relative humidity and temperature of breathing flow. The Graphic Supervisor of Lung Ventilator, allows the professionals of the health to observe the breathing signs of all the patients in a centralized way, this way it can improve the quality of attention to the patients in UIC and to reduce the operative costs for the attention of the patients in the hospitals.
