Clinical trials: Humidity, open to volunteers
Mechanical Ventilator Care
Measurement of Expiratory Gas Temperature in Intubated Patients to Estimate Expiratory Absolute Humidity
Adequate humidification is essential for intubated patients because dry medical gases can cause thick secretions and dangerous endotracheal tube blockages.

Heat Stress, Physiological Stress
Influence of Indoor Humidity on Physiological Strain in Older Adults During a Simulated Heat Wave
Laboratory-based studies show that exposure to high humidity can worsen the effects of heat stress in young and older adults by impeding sweat evaporation - the main mechanism by which the human body cools itself.

Preterm Infant, Body Temperature
Air vs. Cutaneous Control Mode for Preterm Infants ≤ 32 WG in Incubators: Impact on Body Growth and Morbidity
Previous studies have shown that mortality and morbidity in preterm neonates are correlated with the fall in body temperature on admission. Hypothermia can be decreased by reducing body heat losses to the environment.
