- Where do you set up the HME
- as close to the patient as posible
- How much humidity is in the Atmosphere
- 10mg/L
- What 4 factors are needed to troubleshoot humidifiers
- getting rid of condensation, check adequate output (temp,) Check safety release valves, maintenance of water
- Temperature at which humidifiers are usually set at
- 32* C-35*C
- What type of Humidifier is the Cascade
- Heated Humidifier
- How does the HME work
- It utilizes patient's exhaled gas to warm and humidify each subsequent inspiraion
- How does the passover device work
- It Blows by- directs gas over a water surface
- What negative factor is there for using the HME
- It is cost effective
- Which type of humidifier is the simplest
- The Passover
- Which Cascade humidifier works with a manual dial for temperature
- cascade I
- which of the Humidifiers have a decrease in the risk of infection
- wick humidifier, HME
- Goal of Humidity Therapy
- To ensure that the water vapor content of inspired gases is sufficient to meet the physiologic needs of the patient
- 2 Factors that make The wick Humidifier a better way to humidify
- there is less resistance, less water is needed.
- When must molecular water be changed
- If not heated every 72 hours, If heated every 24 hrs
- 3 factors that can alter the efficiency of humidity
- Time of contact between gas and water, Temperature, Surface Tension
- Name 2 Cascade humidifiers
- PB cascade I, PB Cascade II
- How do you check if a Diffusion Humidifier is working properly
- check pop off
- What principle does the Cascade Humidifier work off
- Cascading Principle
- 3 Hazards of Humidity Therapy
- Alteration in heat and water xchange, Infection, Electrical Hazards
- What problems can arise with the Cascade II Humidifer
- It can over heat if not turned off when changing for a treatment on a pt.
- How does The Cascade Humidifier work
- It allows more time for water contact with the gas
- How is the Diffusion Humidifiers set up to deliver O2 to the Patient
- With a Nasal Cannula set at a minimum of 4lpm
- Which type of humidifier is the most popular
- Diffusion Humidifier (Bubble)
- Temperature setting for Wick Humidifier
- 47*C (body temp)
- What must be done with the Cascade II Humidifier when changing to a treatment with a pt.
- TURN IT OFF.
- Negative aspects of the Passover device
- increase chance of infection

- 100%
- Which Cascade Humidifier works with an automated Temperature controler
- cascade II
- Another name for a Diffusion Humidifier
- Bubble Humidifier
- Which 2 types of humidifiers are considered Passovers
- Emerson's "Hot Pot" , Wick Humidifier
- 3 Indications of Humidity Therapy
- Humidify dry gas, overcome the humidity deficit created when upper airway is bypassed
- What type of humidifier is the wick humidifier
- Passover
- An example of a Passover device
- Emerson "hot pot" Isolette
- What is the HME indirectly related to
- Respiratory rate and Tidal volume
- What is the ideal Realative Humidity while on the HME
- 70%
- How often should the HME device be changed
- every 8 hours
- What effect does having a larger surface area have on water vapor content
- It increases the water vapor content
- Purpose of a Diffusion Humidifier
- To raise the humidity content of dry oxygen to acceptable levels
- Type of humidifier also known as Artifical Nose
- HME
- 6 Clinical Indications of Humidity Deficit
- Dry Hacking Cough, Thickened Secretions, Substernal Pain, Sore Throat, Dry Skin, Fluid Imbalance
- Type of humidifier used more widely
- Heat & Moisture Exchange (HME)
- What are the 2 positive factors for using the HME
- It has less maintenace, and technically has less chance of infection
