Abstract
A method for controlling mechanical lung ventilation is described. The method may include intermittently switching the airway pressure of a patient from a first baseline pressure level to a second baseline pressure and vice-versa such that the patient is able to breathe spontaneously in both first and second baseline pressure levels; detecting an inspiration effort by the patient within a predetermined period of time before a switching event of the intermittently switching the airway pressure; and controlling, responsive to detecting a breathing effort, a flow control valve and an exhalation valve to adjust a length of the first period of time according to a delay time so a patient inspiration-exhalation cycle is completed prior to the switching event.
