Adult ThermoShield HMEFs

HMEF's use the patients own moisture and humidity from expiration to humidify anesthetic gases during inspiration. When a patient is intubated, the upper airway is bypassed and results in a loss of humidification of inspired air. Dry gases can have adverse effects and thus to prevent causing the patient trauma, HMEF's play the role of acting as the humidifier in lieu of the upper airway. To counter act the risk of actelectasis, epithelial damage and reduction of mucociliary transport, adequate humidification should be provided to long term intubated patients.

ThermoShield HMEF's povide a high moisture output protecting patients against adverse effects of prolonged dry gas exposure.
