Résumé
Les auteurs ont décrit les différentes définitions concernant ľhumidité des gaz ďanesthésie et ont étudie les facteurs capables ďinfluencer sa régulation. Ils ont de plus démontré les effets néfastes de ľemploi des gaz secs qui déssèchent les muqueuses respiratoires et élèvent le pourcentage des complications pulmonaires qui suivent ľanesthésie. Une revue du débit de vapeur ďeau des systèmes en usage courant a été suivie par une description des mesures prises pour élever ľhumidité des gaz respirés par les malades durant ľanesthésie. Ils ont aussi recommandé la réduction de ľhumidité durant les périodes ďhyperthermie et les précautions à prendre pour éviter la contamination microbienne des équipements ďanesthésie, un risque augmenté durant ľhydratation des gaz aspirés par les malades.
