20120152249 | PROCESS FOR THE AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF A RESPIRATOR - A process for the automatic control of a respirator with a changeover between phases of respiration (inspiration and expiration), by a control unit checking a breathing activity signal for a threshold criterion. If the threshold criterion is met, a changeover is made and the control unit controls the fan of the respirator such that a pneumatic respiration variable (airway pressure, flow) is brought from an actual value to a preset target value for the new phase of respiration. The control unit further divides the change in the respiration variable, from the actual value to the target value, into a plurality of partial steps and checks the current breathing activity signal for the threshold criterion after each partial step. If this threshold criterion is no longer met, the state of operation of the respirator returns to the state before the last changeover, and otherwise, continues with the next partial step. | 06-21-2012 |

20120152251 | PROCESS FOR THE AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF A RESPIRATOR - A process for automatic control of a respirator changes between two phases of respiration by checking a detected respiratory breathing activity signal for a threshold criterion. If the threshold criterion is met, a changeover is made. A dynamic threshold curve, used for changing over into an inspiration phase, is held, after the beginning of the present expiration phase, at high values until the end of a selected inspiratory refractory period, and is then lowered monotonically, dropping to an inspiratory threshold target value at the expected point in time of the phase duration maximum of the present expiration phase. A dynamic threshold curve, which is held at low values, after the beginning of the present inspiration phase, until the end of a selected expiratory refractory period, is raised monotonically, increasing to an expiratory threshold target value at the expected point in time of the phase duration maximum of the present inspiration phase and is then changed over into the expiration phase when the breathing activity signal drops below the threshold curve for the expiration. The phase duration of the inspiration and expiration phases or breath duration (inspiration and expiration phases) is stored in each case, and the expected points in time of the phase duration maxima are derived from the distributions of the phase durations in relation to the beginning of the respective phase of respiration or from the distribution of the breath durations in relation to the beginning of the previous phase of respiration. | 06-21-2012 |
