Abstract
A ventilator () determines states with cough attacks and an operating method for a ventilator determines cough attacks. It is determined on the basis of pressure measured values () and flow measured values () whether consecutive elevations of an airway pressure in a ventilator () are due to one cough event or due to a plurality of cough events. A plurality of cough events indicates a state of a cough attack. An output () of a warning () or alarm () is issued indicating the state.
