Artificial humidification for the mechanically ventilated patient.
Caring for patients who are mechanically ventilated poses many challenges for critical care nurses. It is important to humidify the patient's airways artificially to prevent complications such as ventilator-associated pneumonia. There is no gold standard to determine which type of humidification is best for patients who are artificially ventilated. This article provides an overview of commonly ...
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...
متن کاملInhaled gases humidification and heating during artificial ventilation with low flow and minimal fresh gases flow.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inhaled gas humidification and heating are necessary in patients under tracheal intubation or tracheostomy to prevent damage to respiratory system resulting from the contact of cold and dry gas with the airways. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of respiratory circle systems with carbon dioxide absorbers from Dräger's Cicero anesthesia machine (Germany) as to i...
متن کاملEffect of Heated Humidification on Adherence to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Therapy in Subjects With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Nasopharyngeal Symptoms.
Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of CPAP therapy for reducing symptoms (eg, daytime sleepiness), improving quality of life (QOL), reducing the risk of driving and occupational accidents, and preventing sequelae of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), such as cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.1-3 Many patients have trouble complying with CPAP therapy even though it is effective.4 A...
متن کاملDelivery of molecular versus particulate water in spontaneously breathing tracheotomized patients.
BACKGROUND Adequate humidification of inspired gas with active or passive humidifiers is a standard of care for tracheotomized patients. In this study, a comparison is made between the tracheal climate after tracheobronchial humidification either with molecular water (via a vaporizing humidifier) or particulate water (via spray) in spontaneously breathing tracheotomized patients. METHODS We p...
