Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heated humidifier systems can use various methods to heat the gas, including a wraparound heater (yoke or collar) to heat the gas container, placing a heating element directly in-line with the gas flow, using a reservoir immersion heater to heat the water before it humidifies the gas, and placing a "hot plate" at the base of the humidifier to heat the water reservoir. All these methods are designed to ensure the gas is adequately humidified and warmed before delivery to the patient.
