Heated humidification improves clinical outcomes, compared to a heat and moisture exchanger in children with tracheostomies.
BACKGROUND The upper airway humidifies and warms inspired gases before they reach the trachea, a process bypassed by the insertion of a tracheostomy, necessitating humidification of inspired gases. The optimal method of humidification is not known. METHODS We conducted a short-term 20-hour study and a long-term 10-week randomized crossover study comparing a heated humidifier (HH) to a heat an...
متن کاملA Simple Question Answering System
We describe our simple question answering system written in perl that uses the CMU Link parser (Sleator and Temperley 1991), Princeton University’s WordNet (Miller 1995), the REX system for XML parsing (Cameron 1998) and the Managing Gigabyte search engine (Witten, Moffat and Bell 1999). This work is based on an MSc project (Cooper 2000).
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 کاملUse of heated humidification during nasal CPAP titration in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.
Nasal symptoms associated with the use of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can adversely impact on patients' tolerance, acceptance and adherence to nCPAP therapy. Regular use of heated humidification is effective in alleviating these symptoms and improve patient comfort. In a randomised, parallel, double-blinded, controlled study, the present a...
متن کاملHumidification on Ventilated Patients: Heated Humidifications or Heat and Moisture Exchangers?
The normal physiology of conditioning of inspired gases is altered when the patient requires an artificial airway access and an invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). The endotracheal tube (ETT) removes the natural mechanisms of filtration, humidification and warming of inspired air. Despite the noninvasive ventilation (NIMV) in the upper airways, humidification of inspired gas may not be optim...
