Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME)

Heat Moisture Exchangers (HME) for Airway Hydration in Tracheostomy Care

A Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) is essential for maintaining airway hydration in adult tracheostomy patients. Proper humidification helps thin secretions, making them easier to expel and reducing the risk of infections and blockages. HMEs work by capturing heat and moisture from exhaled air and reintroducing it during inhalation, ensuring optimal...
