1. A method for automatically controlling a ventilation or breathing system, the method comprising the steps of:

  • providing a ventilation or breathing system with a ventilation unit controlled by a control unit for delivery of an assist pressure preset by said control unit;

    detecting current values of the tidal volume flow (Flow(t)) and values of the volume (V(t)) are detected in said control unit;

    carrying out a proportionally supporting ventilation method (PAV;

    Proportional Assist Ventilation) with the control unit with a factor for a degree of compensation (PPSp) being selected by the control unit and by the parameters for the volume assist (VA) and the flow assist (FA) being determined by;


    VA=PPSp·

    E

    FA=PPSp·

    Δ

    R,
    wherein Δ

    E is the deviation of a measured or assumed elastance (Emeasured) of the patient from an ideal elastance (Eideal) and Δ

    R is the deviation of a measured or assumed resistance (Rmeasured) of the patient from an ideal resistance (Rideal);

    using an assist pressure (PS(t)) determined by the control unit from VA and FA wherein PS(t)=VA·

    V(t)+FA·

    Flow(t) is determined to set the ventilation unit such as to deliver this assist pressure.
