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 |
