Inadequate humidification of respiratory gases during mechanical ventilation of the newborn.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Proximal airway humidity was measured during mechanical ventilation in 14 infants using an electronic hygrometer. Values below recommended minimum humidity of adult inspired gas were recorded on 251 of 396 occasions. Inadequate humidification, largely due to inadequate proximal airway temperature, is commoner than recognised in infants receiving mechanical ventilation.

Humidification during Mechanical Ventilation in the Adult Patient
Humidification of inhaled gases has been standard of care in mechanical ventilation for a long period of time. More than a century ago, a variety of reports described important airway damage by applying dry gases during artificial ventilation. Consequently, respiratory care providers have been utilizing external humidifiers to compensate for the lack of natural humidification mechanisms when th...
متن کاملRespiratory Mechanics and Plasma Levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Interleukin 6 Are Affected by Gas Humidification during Mechanical Ventilation in Dogs
The use of dry gases during mechanical ventilation has been associated with the risk of serious airway complications. The goal of the present study was to quantify the plasma levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6 and to determine the radiological, hemodynamic, gasometric, and microscopic changes in lung mechanics in dogs subjected to short-term mechanical ventilation with and without humidification of t...
متن کاملConditioning inspired gases:the search for relevant physiologic end points.
Conditioning inspired gases during mechanical ventilation by adding heat and humidity is a well accepted standard of care.1 Failure to heat and humidify inspired gas in an intubated patient results in well described complications, including inspissation of secretions, deciliation, bronchospasm, airway obstruction, atelectasis, and endotracheal tube (ETT) occlusion.2 Though these issues are unif...

provided the original work is properly cited. CC Hypothermia is a common complication in postoperative patients with well-known effects on hospital outcome [1]. Patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy surgery in some cases develop different grades of perioperative hypothermia as a secondary effect of cold shoulder irrigation. Additionally, sedation and invasive mechanical ventilation aggravate...
متن کاملAssessment of humidification performance: still no easy method!
All authors agree that humidification of gas delivered to patients during mechanical ventilation is essential.1 The upper airways normally provide 75% of the heat and moisture supplied to the alveoli.2 When bypassed, humidification of the gas is necessary to prevent hypothermia, inflammation of the airway epithelium, bronchospasm, atelectasis, and airway obstruction.1 There is, however, still a...
