1. A system comprising:
- at least one flow sensor being configured to sample a rate of airflow in a patients lungs during inspiration and/or expiration of the patient and to output a corresponding airflow signal;
at least one sensor being configured to sample respiratory muscles signals of the patient simultaneously with said sampling of said airflow and to output a corresponding activity signal; and
at least one display unit being configured to at least display said airflow signal and said activity signal simultaneously wherein a comparison of at least said airflow signal and said activity signal indicates physical properties of a respiratory system of the patient.

Abstract
A system and method comprise sampling a rate of airflow in a patients lungs during inspiration and/or expiration of the patient and outputting a corresponding airflow signal. Respiratory muscles signals of the patient are simultaneously sampled with the sampling of the airflow and outputted as a corresponding activity signal. The airflow signal and the activity signal are simultaneously displayed wherein a comparison of at least the airflow signal and the activity signal indicates physical properties of a respiratory system of the patient.
