Abstract

A ventilation device includes a mechanical ventilator (10), respiratory sensors (30, 32) configured to acquire measurements of respiratory variables including at least measurements of airway pressure and airway flow, and an electronic processor (14) programmed to perform a ventilation method including: operating the mechanical ventilator to provide mechanical ventilation controlled using measurements acquired by the respiratory sensors; performing a pause maneuver comprising closing at least one of an inhalation valve (38) and an exhalation valve (40) for a pause interval and estimating a respiratory mechanics index from one or more respiratory system parameters estimated from measurements acquired by the respiratory sensors during or after the pause interval; and triggering a pause maneuver in response to detecting a change in the estimated respiratory mechanics index.
