Objective To explore and analyze the application of artificial nose combined with YYX in airway humidification in patients with artificial airway. Method From March 2022 to March 2024, a total of 110 patients with artificial airway (mechanical ventilation discontinued) were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group. The control group received artificial nose intervention, while the observation group received artificial nose combined with YYX (oxygen humidification device) intervention. The sputum viscosity, clinical related indicators, and humidification satisfaction of the two groups were compared. The results showed that the observation group was better than the control group in terms of sputum viscosity and satisfaction with humidification, with P < 0.05. In terms of clinical indicators, there was no significant difference between the two groups before intervention, P > 0.05. After intervention, the observation group was better than the control group, P < 0.05. Conclusion The combination of artificial nose and YYX (oxygen humidification device) can significantly improve the viscosity of sputum and clinical related indicators in patients, ensuring an increase in satisfaction with humidification.
