HUMIDIFYING GAS FOR RESPIRATORY THERAPY
First Claim
1. A system for providing humidification to gas to be provided to a patient to support breathing through a breathing circuit tubing, said system comprising:
- a humidification component configured for adding water vapor to said gas; and
a humidification component controller coupled with said humidification component and configured for receiving humidification target value information, said humidification component controller comprising;
a humidification target value determiner configured for determining, based on received humidification target value information, a humidification target value of at least two possible humidification target values, said humidification target value identifying a humidification level setting corresponding to said patient.
