Inadequate humidification of inspired gases can cause a variety of
serious problems, and humidification has accordingly become an
important aspect of modern intensive care medicine. This book is
designed to serve as a practical guide for clinicians, providing
information on the theoretical background of humidification, the
equipment, and its optimal use. The book starts by examining the
physiological basis of humidification. Current devices are then
discussed, with careful attention to factors influencing their
performance and methods to evaluate their effectiveness. The two
scenarios of mechanical and non-mechanical ventilation are
considered, and the issue of ventilator-associated pneumonia is
addressed in detail. Further chapters focus on such topics as
humidification following tracheostomy, humidification of the
artificial airway during secretion management, measurement of
inspired gas temperature in the ventilated neonate, and
humidification in the home care setting.
