Abstract: A system and process monitor a patient with an evaluation unit (1), a first interface (2) for receiving patient status values from a plurality of medical devices (3) to be available to the evaluation unit (1).

The evaluation unit (1) includes a suggestion module (6) that determines a suggested value which corresponds to a limit value for at least one patient status value based on the patient status values obtained from at least two medical devices (3) and the further setpoint and/or actual value, and to transmit this suggested value to the receiving unit (5) via the first and/or the at least one second interface (2, 4).

Abstract: A respiration device (1) supports cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and a method for operating a respiration device (1) supports cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The respiration device (1) has a control and regulation unit (7) in order to actuate an expiratory metering unit (3), and an inspiratory metering unit (2) such that, in a first phase, a current value of pressure is increased relative to a first pre-defined value (16) and such that, in a second phase, the current value of the pressure is reduced relative to the first pre-defined value (16).

Abstract: A device, such as a data network device for a medical data network, controls an operating state of a second medical device in such a way that by sending a request message, the second medical device is prompted to change over into the operating state of the combined therapy and hence into an operating state in which its actuator is controlled as a function of an information signal of the first medical device. The information signal is based on physiological measured values. As a result, a clinician does not have to configure the second medical device himself/herself directly on site at the medical device by inputting an input signal, but this can be carried out by the device.
