- Abstract
The article discusses the comparison in using the heated humidifier (HH) devices on mechanical ventilation in intensive care units than the heat and moisture exchange (HME). It emphasizes the formulation of active compensatory algorithm to enhance the humidifier performance which showed clinical efficiency through forbidding the excessive heat of inlet gases. It also mentions the clinical improvement of HME in ventilation that led to the reduction of HH in the intensive care unit.
