Examiner Prepared Abstract The specification herein describes a breathing assistance apparatus that includes a display configured to provide visual information to a user. The display can present different modes of operation, such as, for example, operating modes corresponding to different types of respiratory support that can be provided using the apparatus. The display can also present different types of operational parameters, such as, for example, gases properties measured by sensors of the breathing assistance apparatus that are related or relevant to the type of respiratory support provided. In an embodiment, each operating mode is associated with a unique color or visual scheme. All other buttons, associated screens, panels, and options that are associated with each mode of operation are displayed according to the corresponding color or visual scheme of that mode of operation. In an embodiment, the display comprises a touchscreen configured to provide a way for the user to interact with the breathing assistance apparatus. For example, the display can provide elements on the touchscreen (e.g., buttons, toggles, images, etc.) wherein the elements are configured to allow the user to interact with the breathing assistance apparatus when touched by the user.
