Indic. warm inspired gas
Bypassing the upper airways, Treath Hypothermiea, Patient with airways reactive to cold
Prim. goal of humidity therapy
Maintain normal physiologic conditions
Does aerosol carry pathogens easier than H20 vapor
yes
Aersol
liquid thats suspended in a delivery gas (can heat continuous aerosol)
Short term delivery of hypertonic saline via small volume neb is used to
induce sputum
Isotonic saline =
0.9% saline
cool aerosol trwats
post extubation edema, upper airway edema, croup
HFA used in propellant on
MDI
