Claim 0:
1. A monitoring system for detecting leakages during ventilation with at least one ventilator, wherein the system comprises at least one monitoring device for determining a leakage rate from at least one leakage parameter detected by one or more sensors, the monitoring device being configured for recording at least one time profile of the leakage parameter, for determining at least one measure for a change of the leakage parameter in a time profile, and for detecting a mouth leakage in accordance with the at least one measure, such that the mouth leakage can be differentiated from a mask leakage at least by a duration for which a defined leakage rate is maintained or by a number of defined reversals of the leakage, and wherein the monitoring device is further configured for actuating the ventilator in accordance with a detected leakage type, and for adapting at least one control variable of the ventilator in order to obtain a decrease in the leakage rate and/or a leakage incidence.
