- a monitoring can be provided based on this, which can ensure that an inadmissible or unintentionally high removal of CO 2 with the risk of unintentionally reducing the respiratory drive, is prevented, detected early, etc.
- control unit can have a signal connection both to the device for measuring and to the means for increasing or reducing the delivery rate, for example with the pumps mentioned here, individually or in any combination.
- activities that are responsible for the removal of CO 2 or that promote it are reduced, scaled back or throttled if, for example, one of the monitored parameters exceeds or falls below threshold values or leaves reference ranges or threatens to exceed them /to leave.
- the flow rate of the first and/or the second fluid can be throttled if the CO 2 concentration becomes too low, the respiratory rate drops too much, etc.
- Such thresholds or reference ranges can be predetermined and e.g. B. in a storage device of the system according to the invention (or standing with this in signal connection).
- Such threshold values or reference ranges can be stored individually for each patient.
- the system may be configured to store values or ranges of at least one of these parameters itself in that storage device, such as during or after a period of time that the system has been in use with the particular patient.
