Abstract:
Humidificait on by artificial means must be provided when the upper airway is bypassed during mechanical ventilation.Enough humidification is very important during mechanical ventilation.Heated humidification( HH) and heta and moisture exchanger( HME) are the most commonly used types of artificial humidification in this situation.In this article, their advantages and disadvantages are itn roduced.HH na d HME are compared in humidification performance,effect no ventilator mechanics and association with venti-lation associated pneumonia.Depending on the clinical scenario, humidifier is reasonably selected, and the selection may changeo ver time according the treatment effect.
