主权项

1. A breathing assistance system, comprising:
a controller configured to control a breathing assistance device to deliver gas to a patient based on a set of implemented ventilation parameters; a display configured to display proposed settings for a set of proposed but not implemented ventilation parameters; one or more settings adjustment interfaces configured to cooperate with the display to allow a user to (a) select a particular proposed ventilation parameter for adjustment of the corresponding proposed setting and (b) adjust the corresponding proposed setting for the selected proposed ventilation parameter, wherein after the proposed settings for one or more proposed ventilation parameters have been adjusted and are no longer selected for adjustment, the proposed settings that have been adjusted are displayed as visually distinguishable from proposed settings that have not been adjusted; and a settings accept interface configured to cooperate with the controller and the display to allow the user to accept the proposed settings for the set of proposed ventilation parameters such that the proposed ventilation parameters are implemented by the controller for controlling the breathing assistance device to deliver gas to the patient.
