A New Method for In Vivo Analysis of the Performances of a Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
Table 3
Comparison of temperature (T) and absolute humidity (AH) of Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) performance indicators between laboratory values as declared by the manufacturer and in vivo measured values. All values are expressed as laboratory values minus in vivo values and were measured at a tidal volume of 500 ml.
