Abstract: A patient bed is provided for transporting and/or positioning a patient. The patient bed has a bed area provided for receiving a patient. The patient bed is flexible at least in the bed area in such a way that the patient bed can be rolled up around a part of the patient bed. The patient bed has at least one transport mount for acting on by a transporter, and the patient bed is designed to be transported via the at least one transport mount when loaded with a patient. The patient bed has a plurality of reinforcing fibers, which are flexible and tension-proof, wherein each of the reinforcing fibers passes through the bed area and is operatively connected to at least one of the at least one transport mount in such a way that a force acting on the bed area can be transmitted at least partially to the at least one transport mount.

Abstract: A respirator for supplying a patient with breathing is provided such that the respiration will not be compromised at the time of a changeover from one form of respiration to another form of respiration. Provisions are made for carrying out a first form of respiration with the corresponding first setting parameters and for taking over the corresponding setting parameters at least partially from the measured values determined during the first form of respiration and the first respiration parameters that remained invariant at the time of the changeover of the forms of respiration at the time of a changeover to a second form of respiration.
