RESPIRATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A respiration system for noninvasive respiration, the respiration system comprising:
- a respiration drive;
a patient module with electrodes for picking up electrode signals from the surface of the chest of a patient; and
a control device controlling the respiration drive, the control device being configured to receive electrode signals from the patient module, suppress electrocardiogram (ECG) components in the electrode signals in order to obtain electromyographic signals (EMG signals) representing the breathing effort and control the respiration drive as a function of the EMG signals, the control device picking up ECG signals from the electrode signals before the ECG signal component is suppressed and making data representative of the ECG signals available for display, the control device further being configured to form an envelope for the EMG signals after separation of the ECG signals and to display the envelope for the EMG signals on the respirator, to determine a heart rate as a measured value from the ECG signal and to display the heart rate together with the ECG signal on the respirator or to make the heart rate together with the ECG signal available at the outputs for display on a separate monitor.

Abstract
A respiration system for noninvasive respiration includes a respiration drive, which is controlled by a control device, and includes a patient module (4) with electrodes for picking up electrode signals from the surface of the chest of a patient. The control device is set up to suppress ECG signals in the electrode signals in order to obtain electromyographic signals (EMG signals) representing the breathing effort and to control the respiration drive as a function of the EMG signals. Provisions are made for deriving ECG signals from the electrode signals before said ECG signals are suppressed and for making data representative of the ECG available for display.
