Item Name Code (INC) 46337
Additional Information for Intravenous Fluids Heat And Moisture Exchanger
Intravenous Fluids Heat and Moisture Exchangers are medical devices used to warm and humidify the air that is delivered to a patient during intravenous fluid administration. They are part of the supply class Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.
These devices are designed to prevent the drying of the respiratory tract and maintain the optimal temperature and humidity levels for patients receiving intravenous fluids. They are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings where intravenous therapy is administered.
Intravenous Fluids Heat and Moisture Exchangers typically consist of a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) filter, which is connected to the patient's breathing circuit or tracheostomy tube. The HME filter helps to retain heat and moisture from the patient's exhaled breath, which is then transferred to the inhaled air.
By providing warm and humidified air, these devices help to reduce the risk of complications such as airway dryness, mucus plugging, and infection. They are particularly beneficial for patients who are unable to adequately humidify and warm their own respiratory air, such as those undergoing mechanical ventilation or receiving high-flow oxygen therapy.
In summary, Intravenous Fluids Heat and Moisture Exchangers are important medical devices used to maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels during intravenous fluid administration. They play a crucial role in ensuring patient comfort and preventing respiratory complications.
