Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a system for providing respiratory therapy to a patient comprising a patient interface adapted to present a respiratory gas at an entrance to a patient's airways; an air delivery conduit connected to the patient interface; and an apparatus to provide a controllable supply of air having a flow rate, a temperature and a humidity. The apparatus is controlled to vary at least one of flow rate, temperature and humidity. Additionally, the apparatus is adapted to control gradual ramping of the flow rate of air from an initial flow rate to a therapy flow rate. The ramping of flow rate occurrs over a preset period of time while a therapy level of temperature and humidity of the air is maintained within a preset margin of deviation from a therapy level setting of temperature and humidity.
