FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: pressure support system comprises a heater of the means for interaction with the subject, configured to control heating of the inspiratory gas stream under pressure to a target temperature that is changed compared to the reference temperature. The target change in the baseline temperature of the inhaled gas ensures that the gas supplied to the subject has a comfortable level of temperature and/or humidity that does not cause dryness in the airways or leads to water condensation in the interaction medium. For one version, the pressure support system comprises one or more pressure generators, a means for interaction with the subject, a heater for interaction with a subject, one or more temperature sensors of the interaction means, one or more base temperature sensors, one or more general purpose sensors, a humidifier, a user interface, a processor, an electronic memory, and/or other components.
EFFECT: providing treatment for a subject with pressure support.
