A ventilation device comprising a respiratory gas source connectable to a patient interface and a
control unit designed to specify at least two different ventilation
modes, and in which the
control unit is designed to automatically detect, select, and apply the various ventilation
modes for at least some respiratory disturbances according to a current patient-specific need, characterized in that the device is equipped with an identification number that allows for unique identification in a network or when connected to a PC in order to assign stored information from a
database, and in that the device is equipped with a
telemetry unit for outpatient use and / or at the patient's home.wherein the
control unit has an analyzer for detecting at least one artifact and wherein the analyzer is coupled to the control unit in such a way that, upon detection of the artifact, an erroneous pressure change specified by the
adaptation unit is avoided, wherein the detection of an artifact is exploited by the fact that specific artifacts lead to typical influences on the measured respiratory parameter and wherein the corresponding typical temporal profiles of the respiratory parameter, which are assigned to a specific artifact, enable an automatic evaluation of the
signal profile with regard to the respective profiles and thus a control-technical identification of the respective artifact and wherein corresponding specific artifacts recognizable in the
signal profile are mouth expiration,
mouth breathing, leakage,
swallowing, speaking or coughing and upon automatic detection of such events,The
pressure control is modified in such a way that those measurement parameters which are evaluated by the control unit for a
pressure increase or a
pressure decrease in a
normal state and which can no longer be reliably evaluated when the respective artifact occurs are not taken into account by the control unit for the duration of the artifact's occurrence.
