The humidifier is\n\t\t\t based on a heat-moisture exchanger, which absorbs the expired heat and moisture\n\t\t\t and releases it into the inspired air. External heat and water are then added\n\t\t\t at the patient side of the heat-moisture exchanger, so that the inspired gas\n\t\t\t should reach 100% humidity (44 mg/l) at 37\u00b0C. In bench tests using constant\n\t\t\t and decelerating inspiratory flow and minute volumes of 3\u201325 l the device gave\n\t\t\t an absolute humidity of 41\u201344 mg/l, and it reduced the amount of water consumed\n\t\t\t in eight mechanically ventilated patients compared with a conventional active\n\t\t\t humidifier. During a 24-h test period there was no water condensation in the\n\t\t\t ventilator tubing with the new device.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Visit the original government dataset for complete information, documentation, and data access.", "downloadURL": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC29037/", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "Official Government Data Source"}], "identifier": "https://healthdata.gov/api/views/8bsj-264a", "issued": "2025-07-13", "keyword": ["nih", "mechanical-ventilation", "airway-humidification", "respiratory-therapy", "heat-moisture-exchanger"], "landingPage": "https://healthdata.gov/d/8bsj-264a", "modified": "2025-09-06", "programCode": ["009:033"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institutes of Health"}, "theme": ["NIH"], "title": "A new device for 100 per cent humidification of inspired air"}
