METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING A VENTILATION OR BREATHING SYSTEM AS WELL AS A CORRESPONDING VENTILATION OR BREATHING SYSTEM
First Claim
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.

Abstract
A method is provided for automatically controlling a ventilation or breathing system with a ventilation unit (7), which is controlled by a control unit (5), in order to deliver an assist pressure preset by the control unit, wherein the current values of the tidal volume flow Flow(t) and those of the volume V(t) are detected in the control unit. The control unit (5) may carry out a proportionally assisting ventilation method (PAV: Proportional Assist Ventilation) by 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·ΔE
FA=PPSp·ΔR,
wherein ΔE is the deviation of a measured or assumed elastance (Emeasured) of the patient from an ideal elastance (Eideal) and ΔR is the deviation of a measured or assumed resistance (Rmeasured) of the patient from an ideal resistance (Rideal). The assist pressure PS(t)=VA·V(t)+FA·Flow(t) is determined from this by the control unit with the flow delivery device (ventilation unit (7)) being set such as to deliver this assist pressure.
