some of which require intermediate calculations, formerly being computed on a calculator by the RT, along with the
data from the bridge are collected by the Windows Mobile Touch Screen Device (Pharos GPS without the GPS feature
enabled) that also has an IR port to receive the Ventilator Bridge data. Windows Forms (WinForms) developed in .NET
2.0 C# that allowed the RT to fill in the patient details and notes and logged in a flat de-normalized fashion using SQL
Server 2005 Compact Edition and then transfer the data to a small Windows Server 2003 running SQL Server 2005 and
