Abstract
The invention relates to an anaesthesia procedure and associated anaesthetic equipment (3). In said procedure, a first respiratory gas (G1) is supplied to an anaesthetized patient (15) through a ventilator (3) with unidirectional flow or rapidly alternating flow direction. At least one adjustment parameter (F) of the ventilator (3) is controlled or regulated in such a manner that a current position (LA) of at least one body part (36) of the patient (15) is adjusted to a specified desired position (LS).
Claims22
An anesthesia procedure comprising:
- supplying a patient whose own respiratory drive is suspended by a ventilator with a first respiratory gas with a unidirectional flow or a rapidly alternating flow direction with a frequency of between 0.5 and 10 Hertz;
- and
- controlling at least one adjustment parameter of the ventilator in such a way that a current location of at least one body part of the patient is adjusted to a specified desired location, wherein the at least one adjustment parameter of the ventilator is controlled in such a way that the specified desired location is adjusted to a specified temporal desired path that includes a plurality of locations in a chronological sequence.
A system comprising:
- a ventilator, which in a first operating mode is configured to supply a patient, whose own respiratory drive is suspended, with a first respiratory gas with unidirectional flow or rapidly alternating flow direction with a frequency of between 0.5 and 10 Hertz;
- and
- a control unit that is configured to control or regulate at least one adjustment parameter of the ventilator to adjust a current location of at least one body part of the patient to a desired location, wherein the at least one adjustment parameter of the ventilator is controlled in such a way that the specified desired location is adjusted to a specified temporal desired path that includes a plurality of locations in a chronological sequence.
