Claim 18:
19. 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 at least one other leakage type, and further being configured for detecting the mouth leakage by also at least taking account of arousal events on the part of a patient, and by considering a time overlap of an arousal event with a start of an abrupt leakage reversal as at least one necessary condition for a presence of a mouth 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.
