Protocol summary

Study aim
Analyzing the effect of two airway humidification systems on respiratory parameters and arterial blood gases
Design
Cross over clinical trial
Settings and conduct
First, after identifying the patients that met the inclusion criteria, the head nurse of the department used numbers’ random tables (randomization) to divide the patients into two intervention groups of one and two. Then, the experienced nursing staff in the department, they were unaware of the objectives and results of the study (blinded study), used one of the airway humidifiers in the intervention group one for 30 minutes, and another airway humidifier for the intervention group two for 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes and having recorded the results (respiratory parameters and sending arterial blood gas samples and obtaining the result) in case of the lack of the risk factors for the patient, such as, dramatic and abnormal changes in results of arterial blood gases and in hemodynamic changes and in the absence of critical medical condition, the two humidification devices were interchanged in the intervention groups one and two, and they were used for 30 again, then the results were recorded as the first stage.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
The patients with decreased level of consciousness after a trauma were admitted to the intensive care unit and were required invasive mechanical ventilation
Intervention groups
1. Based on the random number table, the eligible patients are assigned to the first group and one of the airway humidification devices is applied to the group, randomly. 2. The eligible patients are assigned to the second group randomly; one of the airway humidification devices is applied to the group, randomly
Main outcome variables
Respiratory parameters and parameters of arterial blood gas

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: The eligible patients of the study are divided into two groups – namely; the first and the second group- according to the random number table; one of the airway humidification devices is used randomly as an intervention for the first group, for 30 minutes, then the results are recorded and the second airway humidification software is used for 30 minutes and its results are recorded as well

2

Description
Intervention group: One of the airway humidification devices is used randomly for 30 minutes as an intervention for the eligible patients of the study who are placed in the second group according to the random number table, then the results are recorded and the second airway humidification software is used for 30 minutes and its results are recorded as well. In fact, we have an intervention group that is randomly divided into two groups, and both airway humidification devices are used randomly in a crossover manner, each for 30 minutes
