متن کاملHumidification of oxygen with unheated humidifiers in tropical climates.
In developing countries, oxygen therapy in hospitals is frequently humidified with unheated bubble-through humidifiers. We assessed the efficacy of humidification under such circumstances. The water temperature in the humidifier and the ambient air temperature were measured and compared to the oxygen flow rate. It was calculated that oxygen was cooled in the humidifier by 6.12 degrees C (95% CI...
