Claim 0:
1. A ventilation system, comprising:
a breathing apparatus providing mechanical ventilation to a patient, the breathing apparatus being configured to perform an automated full recruitment manoeuvre (FRM) comprising a recruitment phase and an appropriate end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration phase, and, during the PEEP titration phase, to:
gradually decrease a level of PEEP and to deliver a number of breaths at each of a plurality of PEEP levels;
monitor at least one parameter using a processor and at least one sensor from which an optimal PEEP of the patient is configured to be determined;
using the processor, predict whether the optimal PEEP will be possible to reliably determine later on during the PEEP titration phase; and
automatically abort the FRM manoeuvre if it is predicted that it will not be possible to reliably determine the optimal PEEP.
