I have a trach and I don't use humidification except for a bubble jar connected to my O2 concentrator which barely emits a fine mist. But when I'm in a hospital, the respiratory team puts me on this kind of intense humidification and I start to desat from 100 to 75, excessive secretions, mucus plugs, and agonal breathing. I keep insisting to the therapist that I don't need it and that it causes me to drown in condensed sterile water to no avail so I'll usually just dial down the air myself when they leave the room and then I'm fine again. I think hospitals don't look into the negative effects of humidification for COPD (especially emphysema) and that it actually causes patients to "drown" in unnecessary excess moisture.

thank you so much. they didnt mention this in nursing school.

I would like to know, when I give oxygen in a venturi with a humidifier, but I do not see the water chamber bubble, what could I be doing wrong or is it not necessary for bubbles to come out? , if my patient needs 80% HH , thanks for the information

You were at 30% FiO2 for the areosol, not 35% for initial set

Unrealistic, i saw no skin flakes

To all Respiratory therapist 💋

oxygen delivery , good hearth for everybody

I have doubt that humidifier can be used for ambu bag

Where's the water collection bag for the aerosol setup?
