Abstract
Patients are ventilated responsive to a temporary cessation of breathing by monitoring the spontaneous breaths of the patient and providing a series of mechanical breaths to the patient in the event that the spontaneous breaths by the patient cease. The individual breaths of the series are timed such that the rate of the breaths decreases with increasing time, to induce the patient to resume spontaneous breathing. The approach is practiced with a patient ventilator that is operable responsive to a series of commands that trigger the series of mechanical breaths, with the time between breaths gradually increasing.
