ABSTRACT:
A respirator has a bypass gas flow and respective valves in the inspiration and expiration lines for setting the gas flow through these lines. A control unit actuates the valves so that a respiratory cycle is produced and such that the bypass gas flow is maintained during expiration. The expiration pressure is identified by a pressure sensor. When this expiration pressure falls below a prescribed value, a new inspiration phase is triggered. To improve this triggering, the patient gas flow is identified by a flow meter, and the prescribed pressure value is varied dependent on the identified patient gas flow.
