5.2.1 Recommended positioning of temperature probe for
humidifier
One of the major sources of problems in neonatal ventilation is, that excessive rainout affects
accuracy of flow measurement and therefore compromises its use in various modes of ventilation.
We recommend carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions for use of the Humidifier to
minimize the risk of rainout in the Patient Circuit.
