Abstract

Operating a respirator with an inspiration pressure-vs.-time curve (1), which has an airway target pressure (pawtarget) and a PEEP (3), in which the inspiration pressure-vs.-time curve (1) reaches the airway target pressure (pawtarget) on a ramp-like curve (17) starting from a starting airway pressure (pawStart), which is greater than the PEEP (3).
