Patent ID: 8627820

Claim:
A device for supplying a patient with breathing gas for setting a desired pulmonary target pressure (P lung,soll ), the device comprising: a breathing gas delivery means for delivering breathing gas with an inspiratory pressure (P aw(t) ); internal pressure determination means for determining a pulmonary internal pressure (P lung(t) ) during a respiration cycle; means for setting one of the pulmonary target pressure (P lung,soll ) that is desired during the phase of inspiration and the inspiratory pressure (P aw(t) ) to an initial pressure (P aw(t=0) ) above said pulmonary target pressure (P lung,soll ), said pulmonary target pressure corresponding to a predetermined lung pressure; and control device for regulating said inspiratory pressure (P aw(t) ) on the basis of said pulmonary internal pressure (P lung(t) ) and said pulmonary target pressure (P lung,soll ), said pulmonary internal pressure corresponding to a pressure at an interior surface of one or more lungs of the patient.
