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

  • monitoring a physiological parameter of the patient based on one or more received sensor measurements;

    calculating a first derivative and a second derivative of the physiological parameter for a first sample period;

    selecting a first trigger count threshold and a first level based on the second derivative;

    updating a sample count to form a first updated sample count for the first sample period based on first comparison results from at least one of the following;

    comparing the first trigger count threshold to a previous trigger count threshold selected in a previous sample period,comparing the first derivative to a previous first derivative calculated for the previous sample period and comparing the second derivative to a previous second derivative calculated for the previous sample period,comparing an array of maxima of the second derivative to an array threshold,comparing the second derivative to the first level, andcomparing a first rate of change for the second derivative to a rate threshold;

    comparing the first updated sample count to the first trigger count threshold; and

    triggering inspiration based on a first result of the comparing of the first updated sample count to the first trigger count threshold.
