Claim:
A respiration system comprising: an operating unit comprising a display unit and an input unit for respiration parameters; a respirator comprising a breathing gas line for supplying a patient with breathing gas, a fresh gas supply unit and a gas monitor for the analysis of at least one parameter of the breathing gas, said operating unit being arranged at said respirator; a first data line between said respirator and said display unit for transmitting display data; a second data line between said respirator and said input unit for transmitting settings of respiration parameters; a remote control comprising a display field and an input field; a first data channel between said first data line and said display field; a second data channel connected to said input field; and a switchover device connected to said second data line and to said second data channel, said switchover device changing from a local control mode to a remote control mode, with the change interrupting the exchange of data between said respirator and said input unit via said operating unit, to prevent settings of respiration parameters from being input to said respirator via said operating unit, and establishing a data connection between said respirator and said input field of said remote control via said second data channel, to only allow settings of respiration parameters to be input to said respirator via said remote control input field.
