ABSTRACT
An experiment was designed to provide information on the "safe" level of humidifiction of inspired air in asthmatic patients. It was found that air at 25 degrees celcius and 70 percent relative humidity (RH) (16.11 gm/cu m WC) and 35 degrees celcius, 40 percent RH (17.80 gm/cu m) had no significant effect on forced expiratiory volume parameters. At 25 degrees celcius, 95 percent RH (21.88 gm/cu m WC) and above changes in VC/PVC, FEV 1 and FEV 3, MMF and MBC were significantly affected (P < 0.01). Approximately 21.88 gm/cu m Water content is considered the point at which humidification of inspired air ceases to be therapeutically useful.(AU)
