Avoid too large amount that can produce water vaper inside the connections so interfere with pressure delivery by increase resistance and increase humidity of inspired air with is harmful for neonate lung and for the machine and increase risk for frequent reconnection to remove excess water which interfere the function of continuous positive pressure ventilation and carry risk for contamination and infection VAP
Use sterile water and fill the modifier using asepticc technique to avoid contamination , wearing mask and gloves during changing water in the modifier to avoid biotrauma
Frequent check water level in modifier if be low than the mark for water so refill it as dry unhumodified air cause epithelial injury and worse the lung condition
Proper use of humidifier by keep track of humidity levels.use only distilled or purified water ,change the water in the humidifier regularly.change any filters as instructed.
clean the humidifier regularly. follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
exercise caution when using a humidifier around children.
Proper humidifier temp. Prevent water condensation in the ventilator circuit which could cause ventelator associated pneumonia also causes increased airway resistance which consequently increases work of breathing, difficult weaning and prolonged hospital stay

Keeping proper water level in water chamber of the humidifier is very important to avoid airway injuries in mechanicaly ventilated newborn

We have to use distalled sterile water in the humidifier to avoid direct lung infection
Amal Gaber
The water chamber should be autoclaveable to be sterilized after each patient
