Quizplus · Accepted Answer

I and II are correct. Installing water traps in the circuit helps collect condensation and prevent it from entering the patient's airway or affecting the humidifier's function. Using a heated wire circuit helps maintain the temperature of the gas throughout its length, reducing condensation. Setting the heater temperature to a specific range is not a recognized method for minimizing condensation problems in this context.
