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.

27. A method, comprising:
-
displaying to a user via a physical display device a plurality of ventilation modes, each ventilation mode having a corresponding set of ventilation parameters for controlling the delivery of gas to a patient according to that ventilation mode; receiving from the user a selection of one of the ventilation modes; in response to receiving the selection from the user, displaying to the user the set of ventilation parameters corresponding to the selected ventilation mode, each ventilation parameter having a displayed setting; receiving from the user input for (a) selecting one or more of the displayed setting for adjustment and (b) adjusting one or more of the displayed settings; after the one or more selected displayed settings have been adjusted and are no longer selected for adjustment, displaying the settings that have been adjusted as visually distinguishable from settings that have not been adjusted; receiving input from the user for accepting the settings for the ventilation parameters corresponding to the selected ventilation mode, including any adjusted settings; and implementing the selected ventilation mode such that gas is delivered to the patient according to the accepted settings.
