2. Heated humidified high-flow therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_humidified_high...

   Heated humidified high-flow therapy, often simply called high flow therapy, is a type of respiratory support that delivers a flow of medical gas to a patient of up to 60 liters per minute and 100% oxygen through a large bore or high flow nasal cannula. Primarily studied in neonates, it has also been found effective in some adults to treat ...

3. Respiratory gas humidification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_gas_humidification

   Respiratory gas humidification is a method of artificially conditioning respiratory gas for the patient during therapy, and involves humidification, warming, and occasionally filtration of the gas being delivered. If these three measures are not performed to compensate for the natural conditioning of air by the respiratory system, lung ...

4. Pulmonary gas pressures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_gas_pressures

   The alveolar oxygen partial pressure is lower than the atmospheric O 2 partial pressure for two reasons. Firstly, as the air enters the lungs, it is humidified by the upper airway and thus the partial pressure of water vapour (47 mmHg) reduces the oxygen partial pressure to about 150 mmHg.

   A high flow oxygen device is a supplementary oxygen delivery system with relatively high flow rates of a consistent mixture. An example is the venturi mask.

6. Heat and moisture exchanger - Wikipedia

   Humidification and suctioning are necessary to manage secretions in patients on mechanical ventilation. According to Branson (2007), the optimal humidification level "has been not well defined, but it is clear that in a patient with thick and copious secretions a heated humidifier is preferred to an HME".

7. Bubble CPAP - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_CPAP

   1. Gas source: An oxygen blender connected to a source of oxygen and compressed air is used to supply an appropriate concentration of inspired oxygen . The humidified blended oxygen is then circulated through corrugated tubing. 2. Pressure generator: Pressure in the bubble CPAP system is created by placing the distal expiratory tubing in water.
