Claim 0:
1. A method of administering high-flow oxygen therapy, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a respiratory monitoring system, the respiratory monitoring system comprising:
a computer having:
a frame;
at least one display coupled to the frame;
at least one processor coupled to the frame; and

at least one bioimpedance sensor, the at least one bioimpedance sensor configured to be attachable to a torso of a patient and electrically couplable to the computer, and receive bioimpedance response from the patient;
wherein the respiratory monitoring system being configured to measure an inspiratory demand of the patient based on the bioimpedance response;

providing an air-oxygen blender, the air-oxygen blender outputting air deliverable to the patient by a tube attachable to the patient and to the air-oxygen blender;
attaching the at least one bioimpedance sensor to the computer of the respiratory monitoring system and to the patient wherein the respiratory monitoring system receives a signal from the at least one bioimpedance sensor to determine the inspiratory demand of the patient based on the signal from the at least one bioimpedance sensor and shows the inspiratory demand on the at least one display;
reading the inspiratory demand outputted by the at least one display of the respiratory monitoring system in communication with the computer;
determining a peak inspiratory flow rate based on the determined inspiratory demand;
adjusting flow rate of air to be delivered to the patient from the air-oxygen blender to equal to or greater than the determined peak inspiratory flow rate to meet or exceed the inspiratory demand of the patient; and
changing concentration of oxygen in the air delivered by the air-oxygen blender to increase or decrease oxygen inspired by the patient.
