  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Humidification in the Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Around 10–20% of newborns (~13 to 26 million worldwide) require respiratory support after birth. Humidification of inspiratory gases during invasive ventilation has been associated with reduced airway injury. In this chapter, humidification of inspiratory gases during invasive ventilation will be discussed.
