The invention relates to a method for operating at least one respirator (12) in a communication network (11), wherein the communication network (11) has at least one processing unit (30), advantageously a cloud, and the at least one processing unit (30) has a computing unit (32), and the at least one respirator (12) is connected to the communication network (11) via a communication module (25). According to the invention, the respirator data from the at least one respirator (12) is transmitted to the communication module (25) (step a)) and then the transmitted respirator data is sent from the communication module (25) to the at least one processing unit (30) (step b)). Furthermore, the sent respirator data is analyzed in the at least one processing unit (30) (step c)), the analyzed respirator data is revised in the computing unit (32) (step d)) and then transferred from the at least one processing unit (30) to a communication module (25) and/or from the at least one processing unit (30) to at least one external receiving unit (40 and 41) (step e)). The transferred respirator data is then used (step f)).
