A method for controlling a ventilator and a ventilator

摘要

The method involves continuously measuring the oscillatory pressure amplitude in the air supplied to a patient, corresponding to the breath resistance of the patient. A base value is then determined for the individual breath resistance. If the base value is deviated from beyond threshold values, gas is supplied to the patient at increased pressure, and the pressure is reduced again as soon as the base value of the oscillatory pressure amplitude is reached. An Independent claim is also included for a breathing apparatus.
