Claims21
A breathing support system, comprising:
- a breathing support device configured to deliver gas to a patient;
- a software-generated graphic indicating one or more measures regarding the patient's work of breathing;
- a display device associated with the breathing support device, the display device configured to display the software-generated graphic,
- wherein the software-generated graphic includes:
- a scale in a form of a bar with a single axis representing a range of work of breathing values;
- and
- one or more work of breathing indicators that move relative to the scale.

A breathing support system, comprising:
- a breathing support device configured to deliver gas to a patient;
- a software-generated graphic indicating one or more measures regarding the patient's work of breathing;
- a display device associated with the breathing support device, the display device configured to display the software-generated graphic, and
- wherein the software-generated graphic includes:
- an elastic-resistive graphic including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion indicating a measure of an elastic work of breathing component and the second portion indicating a measure of a resistive work of breathing component;
- and
- wherein relative sizes of the first and second portions of the elastic-resistive graphic dynamically adjust on a bar to indicate the measure of the elastic work of breathing component relative to the measure of the resistive work of breathing component.
