In this episode of the Tracheostomy Education Podcast, Dr. Jerry Gentile and Nicole DePalma discuss the critical role of humidification, particularly for patients with tracheostomies. The conversation covers the definitions of humidity, the physiological processes of the upper airway, and the implications of bypassing natural humidification through artificial airways. The importance of adequate humidification is emphasized to prevent complications such as thick secretions and mucus plugging, and discusses practical strategies for managing these issues in clinical settings.
