Controlled delivery of high vs low humidity vs mist therapy for croup in emergency departments

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to observe how effective was the controlled delivery of 100% humidity, using optimally sized water particles, as compared to controlled delivery of 40% humidity and humidity delivered with the blow-by technique in children suffering from moderate to severe croup in the emergency department (ED). Results indicated that delivery of 100% humidity was less effective and the study does not support the use of humidity for moderate croup for patients treated in the EDs.
