      abstract = {The 2nd edition of this book aims to underline how  inadequate humidification of inspired gases can be the  cause of a variety of serious problems and, thus, it brings  new results and trends in humidification, updates about  technological analyses in equipment’s ventilator modes and  again the impact of humidification in complementary  therapies such airway secretions in mechanical ventilated  patients. These aspects are analysed in critically ill  patients requiring various options of ventilatory approach  (i.e. invasive, noninvasive, nasal high flow oxygen). The  book starts with an exhaustive description of the  pathophysiology of humidification in critically ill, and  continues analyzing the impact of mechanical ventilation  modalities (high-flow oxygen therapy, noninvasive  mechanical ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation,  etc.), monitoring prevention of complications related to  inadequate humidification. Important chapters are devoted  to analyze determinants - ventilator associated  pneumonia-humidification; humidification strategies in  tracheostomized critical care patients; humidification and  impact in airway clearance managements and the key aspects  about humidification in the healthcare organization. This  book is intended for all healthcare professionals working  in Intensive Care Units (intensivists, anaesthesiologists,  pulmonologist, neonatologist, nurses and respiratory  therapist).},
