Active humidification system
A humidification system makes it possible to increase the amount of moisture in the air delivered
to the patient. Set up the heater base and connect it to a power supply in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Note:
If a heated circuit is being used with a humidification system, connect it to a power
supply, then wait 15 minutes before performing a manual test so that the temperature and
humidity can stabilise. This will ensure accurate measurement of the V
TE
(when using a double
circuit).
WARNING
Set up the humidifier in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Always ensure
that the ventilator and expiratory valve are placed above the humidifier and water traps.
Note:
The water traps must be emptied periodically.
