In a method and breathing apparatus for prediction of fluid responsiveness of a subject connected to a breathing apparatus, at least one parameter is monitored that is indicative of a degree of carbon dioxide elimination of the subject, and a positive end expiratory pressure PEEP regulator of the breathing apparatus is operated to apply a PEEP maneuver in which a PEEP applied to the subject is changed from a first PEEP level to a second PEEP level. A processor predicts the fluid responsiveness of the subject based on a change in the monitored parameter, following the change in PEEP.

Method and apparatus for prediction of fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated subjects

Method for providing ventilatory settings with regard to the airway pressure levels of an artificial ventilator, the artificial ventilator is connected to a lung, including the steps of obtaining data samples of a gas concentration of the expired gas over a single breath; selecting a plurality of data samples from the obtained data samples; calculating a tracing value being sensitive to changes of alveolar dead space on the basis of the selected data samples; repeating steps a), b) and c) for obtaining a plurality of tracing values; and changing at least one airway pressure level of the artificial ventilator, wherein from an observation of a resulting course of the plurality of calculated tracing values an airway pressure level at which alveolar opening or lung overdistension or lung open condition or alveolar closing occurs is detected. Apparatus for providing ventilatory settings with regard to the airway pressure levels of an artificial ventilator is also disclosed.
