  • ABSTRACT
  • Ventilator provides a stable breathing to patients who are not able to breathe spontaneously. As medical respiratory gas is cold and dry and it could have a fatal effect to the patients. But it can be prevented if connecting a humidifier to the patient circuit and provides the gas into the patient’s airway. The vapor condensation, however, can result in an incorrect respiratory rate as well as a risk of infection which will lead damage of the machine. To deal with this, it needs to develop temperature and humidity measurement protocol to apply an alarm system.
