Abstract
The present invention pertains to a device and corresponding method for determining information relating to the treatment of a patient, preferably relating to a patient having a respiratory disorder. The device comprises a fluid channel configured to be in fluid communication with a medical gas source at a first end and with a patient interface at a second end, a sensor arrangement having at least a first sensor for measuring a value of a first flow parameter in the channel and a second sensor for measuring a value of a second flow parameter in the channel, wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal axis of the channel, and a control unit in communication with the first sensor and the second sensor. The control unit determines flow direction of a medical gas in the channel based on sensor measurements.
