Effect of airway humidifiers on the respiratory parameters and arterial blood gases. Diseases of the respiratory system

Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: The eligible patients of the study are divided into two groups – namely

the first and the second group- according to the random number table

one of the airway humidification devices is used randomly as an intervention for the first group, for 30 minutes, then the results are recorded and the second airway humidification software is used fo

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The amount to respiratory parameters and parameters of arterial blood gases before using airway humidifiers. Timepoint: Immediately after starting intervention. Method of measurement: Using respiratory data of patient by ventilator and analysis of arterial blood gases.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The amount to respiratory parameters and parameters of arterial blood gases after using airway humidifiers. Timepoint: 30 minutes after using each airway humidifier. Method of measurement: Using respiratory data of patient by ventilator and analysis of arterial blood gases.	—
