Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application value of warming humidification oxygen therapy in patients after tracheotomy.Methods Forty-one patients after tracheotomy were collected consecutively for this study.All patients were randomly assigned into the treatment group (21 cases)and the control group (20 cases).The treatment group adopted warming humidification oxygen therapy,and the control group adopted common airway moistening method.Moist effect judgment,viscosity of sputum,phlegm scab formation,respiratory irritation symptoms,airway mucosal bleeding,air way resistance,lung infection cases,average days in the ICU were investigated.Results There were statistically significant differences in moist effect judgment,viscosity of sputum,phlegm scab formation,respiratory irritation symptoms,airway mucosal bleeding,air way resistance,lung infection cases,average days in the ICU between the two groups.Conclusions Warming humidification oxygen therapy is more suitable to patients with tracheotomy than common airway moistening method.
