Summary: | A respiratory therapy system configured to provide respiratory therapy to a patient breathing in successive breathing cycles including an inspiration phase and an expiration phase, the system comprising: a pressure generator configured to supply a flow of pressurised air, the pressure generator configured to couple with a patient interface via an air circuit to deliver the pressurised air from the pressure generator to the patient; at least one sensor configured to provide one or more signals indicative of a pressure and a flow rate of the pressurised air flow; and a controller including a processor configured to: repeatedly detect values of instantaneous pressure and values of instantaneous flow rate from the one or more signals from the at least one sensor; repeatedly calculate instantaneous conductance values based on the values of instantaneous pressure and values of instantaneous flow rate; and monitor changes in the instantaneous conductance values over time to detect an occurrence of a respiratory event within the system. |
