Session information
- Title:
- 07e_06_01 Humidification
- Description:
- Humidification of inspired gases is a vital process by which the body moistens and warms the gases that we breathe. Breathing gases which are not humidified can lead to damage of the cells lining the respiratory tract, impairing ciliary function and increasing the patient's susceptibility to respiratory tract infection. During this session the methods of delivering humidified gas to the patient will be discussed as will methods of using the respiratory tract to deliver medication.
