Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a breathing gas are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes sensing a sensed parameter associated with delivery of the breathing gas, changing a control parameter associated with a flow/pressure control element in response to a difference between the sensed parameter and a first predetermined sensed parameter value during a first portion of a breathing cycle, determining a transition from the first portion to a second portion of the breathing cycle based at least in part on the changing control parameter, changing the control parameter to cause a first change in the sensed parameter during the second portion of the breathing cycle based at least in part on the determined transition, and changing the control parameter to cause a second change in the sensed parameter during a third portion of the breathing cycle based at least in part on the first predetermined sensed parameter value.

61. A system for providing a breathing gas comprising:
-
a flow path adapted to receive a patient interface; a blower in fluidic communication with the flow path; a variable position valve in fluidic communication with the flow path; a pressure sensor disposed to detect a pressure associated with delivery of breathing gas to the patient interface; and a controller in operative communication with the pressure sensor, blower, and variable position valve, wherein the controller controls the variable position valve to provide the breathing gas;
i) at a first breathing gas pressure during a first portion of a patient breathing cycle, ii) at a second breathing gas pressure during a second portion of the patient breathing cycle, and iii) at the first breathing gas pressure during a third portion of the patient breathing cycle. - View Dependent Claims (62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 74, 75)
