Abstract:
A bubble humidifier for humidifying gas bubbled through water contained in a container member prior to this gas being sent to a patient is provided. The bubble humidifier includes a container member having a lid, a gas inlet member connected to a gas source, a member for transporting the gas from the gas inlet member into the liquid, and a gas outlet member which feeds the humidified gas to the patient. A valve inlet member is associated with the humidifier unit and allows for the addition of liquid, which humidifies the gas, into the humidifier unit without disassembling the humidifier unit.
