1. A respirator, comprising:

  • a volume-shifting device, said volume-shifting device for carrying out preselected forms of respiration;

    a gas line system connected to said volume-shifting device for supplying a patient with breathing gas;

    measuring devices for measuring at least airway pressure and breathing gas flow, wherein at least a plateau pressure (Pplat) and an inspiratory volume (VT) of the breathing gas are determined as measured values;

    a control unit, which contains an input unit for setting at least a first form of respiration and a second form of respiration as well as for entering at least first setting parameters belonging to the first form of respiration, said control unit generating control signals for at least said volume-shifting device in order to carry out the first form of respiration with the first setting parameters, said control unit being designed such that at a time of a changeover to a second form of respiration, second setting parameters are used to control the second form of respiration, said second setting parameters are selected at least partially from among the measured values determined during the first form of respiration.
