Humidification and loss of body heat during anaesthesia. II: Effects in surgical patients.
Changes in temperature and body heat were measured in 30 patients. Despite the warming of most fluids given intravenously, all the patients ventilated with dry anaesthetic gases became cooler, with an average heat loss of 12.4 kilocalories per hour. In a group to whom the gases were delivered saturated at body temperature, the average hourly loss was 1.5 kilocalories. This difference is in agre...
متن کاملHumidification of incubators.
The effect of increasing the humidity in incubators was examined in 62 infants of less than 30 weeks' gestation. Thirty three infants nursed in high humidity for two weeks were compared retrospectively with 29 infants from an earlier study who were nursed under plastic bubble blankets or with topical paraffin but without raised humidity. Humidification reduced skin water loss and improved maint...
متن کاملMembrane humidification--a new method for humidification of respiratory gases in ventilator treatment of neonates.
A humidifier system for neonatology that functions according to the 'membrane humidification' principle was subjected to a performance test in our laboratory. Humidification and heating of the respiratory gases took place in a module consisting of a net of hollow fibres placed inside the incubator. In 18 measurement combinations flow, respiratory gas temperature, and incubator temperature were ...
متن کاملA study of humidification in tracheostomized dogs.
In order to determine the optimal conditions for humidification of inspired air through a tracbeostomy, tracheostomized dogs were allowed to breathe humidified air, the temperature of which was deliberately varied between 15C and 40°C. At 15°C, the air was saturated lower than 40% but was fully saturated at the other temperatures. Measurements of alveolar ventilation, functional residual capaci...
متن کاملThermodynamic analysis of humidification dehumidification
Humidification dehumidification desalination (HDH) is a promising technology for small-scale water production applications. There are several embodiments of this technology which have been investigated by researchers around the world. However, from a previous literature review [1], we have found no study which carried out a detailed thermodynamic analysis in order to improve and/or optimize the...
