1. A ventilatory system for issuing a smart prompt when Auto-PEEP is implicated during pressure ventilation of a patient, comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and containing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, issue a smart prompt when Auto-PEEP is implicated, the ventilatory system comprising: an Auto-PEEP detection module for detecting that Auto-PEEP is implicated upon detecting that parameter data breaches one or more predetermined thresholds; a smart prompt module for issuing a smart prompt when Auto-PEEP is implicated, the smart prompt displaying: a notification that Auto-PEEP is implicated; and a list of entries for mitigating Auto-PEEP, the list of entries including one or more primary entries that are based at least in part on determining whether the patient is a triggering patient or a non-triggering patient, wherein at least one primary entry of the one or more primary entries for a non-triggering patient is different than the one or more primary entries for a triggering patient.
