The study has a crossover design. Patients will start in standard ASV 1.1 settings, then attending physician will assess the ventilation parameters according to study protocol and will note them in the case report form as he starts the data recording with MemoryBox (MB)in the mixed mode. Afterwards, the clinician will start the first phase by either keeping the patient in ASV 1.1 without any closed-loop controllers activated or switching to ASV 1.1 with only FiO2 controller activated according to the randomization. After 2.5 hours of recording in the first phase, the clinician will switch the patient to the second phase regarding randomization order. If the patient was ventilated without FiO2 controller activated in the first phase, the controller will be activated in the second phase. The patient will stay in the second phase for 2.5 hours as well. The first 0.5 hours of the first phase will be considered as run-in phase and the first 0.5 hours of the second phase will be considered as wash-out phase. Therefore the first 0.5 hours of each phase will be excluded from data analysis due to cross-over study design.
