Device for ventilation, comprising: a
breathing gas source for providing
breathing gas for the ventilation of a patient; at least one sensor connected to an interface (8) of the device, which can be positioned on the patient's
skin and is designed to non-invasively measure at least one component of the patient's blood as at least one ventilator-dependent blood parameter; a control device designed to evaluate at least one blood parameter and autonomously change at least one operating parameter of the device depending on the at least one blood parameter, wherein maximum corridors are specified for the at least one operating parameter to prevent implausible automatic ventilation settings, and operator inputs are evaluated to take external control specifications into account; a device housing (1) with a control panel (2) and a display (3), wherein an
oxygen supply valve is adaptable to the device in the area of the device housing (1) and a respiratory gas pump is arranged in an interior of the device, wherein a humidifier is also adaptable to the device, wherein the display (3) is designed as a display so that a physician can select a
disease pattern directly on the display; a modem or other interface for transmitting recorded data to the physician, as well as abnormalities, operating hours, or other data to a maintenance or customer
service department to ensure proper functioning of the device; wherein the control device is designed to change the at least one operating parameter within a control loop, to which data of the at least one blood parameter are supplied as
setpoint and actual values, and to assign strategies for carrying out the control to specific
disease patterns, wherein each strategy includes a
priority list of 1 to N different settings that are to be processed within the respective bandwidths when applying the strategy, wherein the strategies with their respective settings and bandwidths can be stored and made available as fixed predefined strategies for specific
disease patterns; wherein the control device is further configured to take into account characteristic settings and their ranges for the disease pattern chosen by the physician and to apply the settings taken into account; wherein at least one blood parameter includes a
carbon dioxide partial pressure and the control device is further designed to compare an actual value of the
carbon dioxide partial pressure with a
setpoint when performing the control and, if a current strategy has been fully executed and the
setpoint has not been reached, to automatically apply a new strategy suitable for further improving the patient's condition.
