“…Dry anaesthetic gases flowed into either of the two types of water-bath units. These were either of the standard tank type described by Marshall and Spalding (1953), The vVilson, a metal tank with an immersion heater, or the Fisher and Paykel No. 328 ( Figure 1).…”

The performance of two heated water-bath humidifiers was examined in terms of airway temperatures and humidities. These were the simple heated tank (Marshal! and Spalding, 1953) and the Fisher and Paykel No. 328 (Spence and Melville, 1972), both of which had the potential to deliver gases at temperatures above 40°C, and with a moisture content in excess of 50 mg/litre. The major advantage of the No. 328 was its heating wire in the delivery tube. This lessened or prevented condensation within the tube, and allowed the water bath to be maintained at lower temperatures. Independent heat controls for the water bath and the delivery tubing allow precision of humidities in the gases provided for inspiration through an artificial airway. When condensation is prevented, the temperature of the saturated gases leaving the humidifier limits the absohtte humidity supplied. Monitoring and adjustment of airway temperature of the patient then allows selection of temperature and relative h1Jmidity in the inspired gas.

“…Hot water humidifiers (Marshall and Spalding, 1953) have been used. The inspired air temperature has been monitored continuously and the water temperature in the can has been adjusted to keep the inspired air temperature between 30 and 35°C; this ensures optimal humidification.…”

(1) A description has been given of the use of tracheostomy and IPPR in the treatment of twenty-five cases suffering from respiratory and circulatory complications after open-heart surgery. (2) In patients suffering from respiratory abnormalities, results were good. In those with a derangement of the circulation results were poor. However, it was concluded that therapy in this group is often justified. (3) Although arterial blood gas determinations are of value, the decision to use artificial ventilation must be based on a consideration of the history and clinical state in addition to the biochemical data. The use of intermittent positive pressure respiration (IPPR) in the treatment of ventilatory inadequacy after thoracic surgery is well docu

“…Humidification of the atmosphere is essential in all cases. Marshall and Spalding (1953) state that the aim should always be 100 per cent humidity. This is difficult to obtain where the incubators are frequently opened for feeding, auscultation and routine nursing care.…”

“…Where this is not available the gases may be bubbled through water bottles in which the bubbles are broken up by passing through gauze or sponge. This method gives a humidity below the desired maximum (Marshall and Spalding, 1953).…”
