- Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of different airway humidification methods on off-line of artificial airway.Methods A total of 80 ICU patients with off-line of artificial airway were randomly divided into two groups.A total of 40 odd numbered cases were as control group,given conventional T tube airway humidification.Another 40 even numbered cases were as observation group,given therapeutic equipment for airway humidification.The effects of two airway humidification methods on the viscosity of sputum and the incidence of lower respiratory tract infection were compared.Results The sputum viscosity of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of respiratory tract infection in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The nursing satisfaction was much higher than that of the ordinary T tube (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Airway humidification with therapeutic equipment has better effect on airway humidification than that of ordinary T tube.
