Abstract

A monitor for surveying measurement values indicative of a person's breathing, to enable an improved assessment, in terms of conclusiveness and reliability, in the course of a treatment phase or a diagnosis. The monitor has a housing structure defining a gas flow path, a measurement line segment provided in the housing structure and structured to communicate with a breathing gas line segment, a sensor in communication with the gas flow path and structured to generate a signal indicative of the breathing gas flow flowing along the gas flow path, and an electronic recording device to record one or more signals indicative of the breathing gas flow, and/or information derived from them. It thus becomes advantageously possible, in treating a patient by using a CPAP device, for instance, to determine the quality of treatment in an objective and standardized way.
