Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of self-made airway humidifying device on artificial airway
selfbreathing
patients in terms of their spontaneous breathing symptoms, sputum viscosity, White Blood
Cell count (WBC) and Procalcitonin (PCT), Arterial Oxygen Partial Pressure (PO2) and Carbon Dioxide
Partial Pressure (PCO2). Methods 40 patients with artificial airway were randomly divided into two
groups: the treatment group and the control group. The control group used EM06003L
starlight oxygen
atomization device, while the treatment group used selfmade
airway humidifying device. Sterile water was
used for injection for airway humidification on both two groups. A total of 2 weeks of treatment were recorded
about their clinical symptoms, sputum viscosity, WBC, PO2 and PCO2 count and PCT. Results Before
treatment, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) between the two groups in their general information,
sputum viscosity, WBC count, PCT, PO2, PCO2, etc; after treatment, the clinical symptoms, sputum viscosity,
WBC count and PCT were improved in both groups, and the treatment group was significantly better than
the control group (P<0.05). The PO2 of the control group was decreased, and the PCO2 increased; the PO2
of the treatment group was increased and the PCO2 decreased, and the effect was better than that of the
control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The self-made airway humidifying device for the artificial airway
selfbreathing
patients can effectively improve the clinical symptoms, sputum viscosity, WBC count and
PCT, and can also improve the oxygenation and avoid the occurrence of CO2 retention.
