Abstract: A system is for alarm management in connection with a lung recruitment manoeuvre performed by a breathing apparatus on a mechanically ventilated patient. The system is configured to obtain information on at least one optimized ventilation setting for the patient, determined during the lung recruitment manoeuvre, and to automatically initiate at least one alarm setting for a period of ventilation following the recruitment manoeuvre, based on the optimized ventilation setting.

Abstract: A ventilation system includes a breathing apparatus which provides mechanical ventilation to a patient. The breathing apparatus is configured to perform an automated full recruitment manoeuvre, FRM, comprising a recruitment phase and a PEEP titration phase, and to determine at least one optimised ventilation setting for the patient during the FRM manoeuvre. The breathing apparatus is further configured to automatically switch ventilation mode to a predefined ventilation mode after the FRM manoeuvre, and to ventilate the patient in the predefined ventilation mode using the at least one optimised ventilation setting during a period of post-recruitment manoeuvre, post-RM, ventilation following the FRM manoeuvre.
