Abstract:
Objective To study the best way of airway humidity therapy on patients with tracheotomy.Methods Fifty patients with tracheotomy were randomly divided into two groups.In the cantrol group 25patients were given continuous airway humidity by pumping humidification fluid into the trachea with infusion pumps while in the experiment group 25 patients were added the modified oxgen-drive atomizing based on the control group.The difference between two groups in humidification effect,the complication,the number of daily suctioning,the duration of endotracheal intubation,and the influence for oxygen saturation of blood were compared.Results The experimental group showed better effect on airway humidity than that in the controlgroup(P<0.05).The complication occurred fewer in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.05).The number of daily suctioning and the time of endotraeheal intubation were less in the experimentalgroup than that in the control group(P<0.01).However,there was no significant difference in the influence on the oxygen saturation of blood(P>0.05).Conclusions Continuous oxygen-drive atomizing is more effective on airway humidity than pumping humidification fluid into the trachea for patients with traeheotomy.
