Abstract
A pressure support system that delivers a flow of gas to a patient's airway via a pressure generating system and a patient circuit. A controller receives a treatment set point from an input source and determines an adjusted treatment set point based on the treatment set point and a comfort feature function, which in one embodiment, is not based on a physiological condition of such a patient. In another embodiment, the controller provides a respiratory treatment therapy during a therapy session based on the treatment set point and the comfort feature, which is modified automatically during a therapy session without user intervention based on a comparison of the treatment set point to a treatment set point variable. The controller controls the operation of the pressure generating system based on the adjusted treatment set point or the combination of the treatment set point and the comfort feature.
