Humidification during continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
The study by Massie et al1 has, for the first time, presented scientific proof that the prophylactic application of a humidifier as an accessory in continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy can improve not only patient compliance and comfort during treatment, but also the results of the treatment. We consider the study to be of particular importance because it shows that we now have to...
متن کاملHeated humidification or face mask to prevent upper airway dryness during continuous positive airway pressure therapy.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the way in which nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy influences the relative humidity (rH) of inspired air; and (2) to assess the impact on rH of the addition of an integrated heated humidifier or a full face mask to the CPAP circuitry. DESIGN The studies were performed in 25 patients with obstructive slee...
متن کاملEfficiency of cold passover and heated humidification under continuous positive airway pressure.
Cold passover and heated humidifiers are employed for the prevention of side-effects associated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. However, to date, it has not been possible to separately measure the humidity of inspired and expired air. The aim of this study was to compare the relative humidity of the inspired air and the water loss during respiration between cold passo...
متن کاملAerosol delivery and humidification with the Boussignac continuous positive airway pressure device.
BACKGROUND A simple method for effective bronchodilator aerosol delivery while administering continuing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) would be useful in patients with severe bronchial obstruction. OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of bronchodilator aerosol delivery during CPAP generated by the Boussignac CPAP system and its optimal humidification system. METHODS First we a...
