Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A respiratory apparatus that is configured to provide a flow of gases to a user for respiratory therapy. The apparatus has a flow generator that is operable to generate a flow of gases and a controller that is operatively connected to the flow generator and operable to control a flow rate of the flow of gases by controlling the flow generator. The controller is configured during operation to: receive flow rate data indicative of or representing the flow rate of the flow of gases; process the flow rate data to extract or generate breathing data indicative of or representing the patients breathing or respiration from the flow rate data; and process the breathing data to calculate one or more breathing parameter ratios representative of the ratio between inspiration time and/or expiration time to total respiration time for the patients breathing cycle.
