Distilled vs. Sterile Water: What is the Difference? Life with a Vent

When I got my tracheotomy tube in May of 2017, I noticed the hospital used sterile water in the heater humidifier for the ventilator. When I was being discharged, my respiratory therapist told me he needed to get me sterile water, but in the meantime, it was ok to use distilled water. Week after week I waited, but sterile water was never delivered to my home. I was concerned. If the hospital used sterile water, shouldn’t I also use sterile water? #LifewithaVent #sterilewater #distilledwater At an appointment with my pulmonologist, he decided to change my durable medical equipment company to one which had more knowledge and experience with tracheostomy tubes and invasive ventilation. When I switched companies, I inquired about getting sterile water. I was told, “Sterile water. Distilled water. It’s all the same thing. Our company does not supply sterile water. You can buy distilled water at the grocery store. Just use distilled water.” For the next four years, I used distilled water in my heater humidifier, but I have always wondered what is the difference between distilled and sterile water. After doing some research, I was shocked at what I found. Join me this week as I discuss the differences between distilled and sterile water. #lifewithavent #sterile #distilledwater For more fun and adventures please check out my blog: https://mitowarrior.blogspot.com Instagram:   / lifewithavent   MeWe: https://mewe.com/join/lifewithaventil...
