## Abstract ## Background This study was designed to assess endotracheal climate in laryngectomized patients in a warm and dry environment and the effects of a heat and moisture exchanger (HME). ## Methods Endotracheal temperature and humidity were measured in 11 laryngectomized patients with a
## Abstract ## Background The beneficial function of heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) is undisputed, but knowledge of their effects on intraβairway temperature and humidity is scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical applicability of a new airway climate explorer (ACE) and to
