1. A method for ventilating a patient with a ventilator comprising:

  • delivering a regular oxygen concentration to a patient during ventilation;

    receiving a user selection of a limited oxygen concentration increase for a set time period;

    delivering a selected oxygen concentration above the regular oxygen concentration based on the received user selection;

    monitoring an oxygen saturation level of blood in the patient during the step of delivering the selected oxygen concentration;

    determining that the oxygen saturation level of the blood exceeds a predetermined threshold prior to expiration of the set time period for the limited oxygen concentration increase; and

    delivering an adjusted oxygen concentration to the patient based on the step of determining.
