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

   Although the humidifying capacity of a bubble respiratory gas humidifier is rather low, it may be improved by increasing the water temperature. A bubble bottle is mostly used in oxygen therapy with high flow rates via a mask, nasopharyngeal catheter, or nasal cannula in order to prevent drying of the mucous membranes in the nose and mouth.

4. Venturi mask - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_mask

   The venturi mask, also known as an air-entrainment mask, is a medical device to deliver a known oxygen concentration to patients on controlled oxygen therapy. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The mask was invented by Moran Campbell at McMaster University Medical School as a replacement for intermittent oxygen treatment.

5. 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".

   Supplied gas must be warmed and humidified. [37] oxygen mask An oxygen mask is an interface between an oxygen delivery system and the human user. It provides a method to transfer oxygen breathing gas from a storage tank or other source to the lungs. Oxygen masks may cover only the nose and mouth (oral-nasal mask) or the entire face (full-face ...

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.
