ABSTRACT

 Introduction

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) requires
long-term oxygen use. Active humidification is required in patients receiving
oxygen above 4 L/min to protect the mucosa.

Aim

The aim is to investigate the effect of vapor/humidification
on the rehabilitation of adult, spontaneous breathing
patients with COPD.

Method

The study is organized according to PRISMA-P standards.
CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PUBMED, Science Direct databases were
scanned from beginning to 27.12.2018 in English terms without language
limitation. As Cochrane MeSH terms; ‘COPD’, ‘steam’, ’COPD and steam,’ COPD and humidification ‘,’ COPD and water vapor’, ’COPD and
moisture‘, ’COPD and high flow
oxygen therapy’ were
used. 10963 articles have been reached. Repeated studies were conducted with
the Mendeley program. Randomized, case-control studies were performed to
evaluate.
Inclusion criteria
were patients who were
older than 18 years of age, with COPD diagnosis, spontaneous respiration, the intervention
of steam/humidification.

Results

83 articles were examined in detail and four studies
were included. Chatila et al. (2004) suggest that high-flow heat-moisture
therapy improves exercise performance and oxygenation; Rea et al. (2010), the
positive effects of long-term heat-moisture therapy; Francini et al. (2015),
low-flow cold steam/humidification is useless; Cirio et al. (2016) showed that
heat-moisture therapy during exercise increases exercise time and tolerance.

Conclusion

According to the findings; adult patients with COPD who had in long or short term hot water vapor have positive effects on respiratory function and
mucosal activity in the case of exercise or resting.
