## 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 High‐resistance heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) have been reported to increase transcutaneous oxygenation (tcpO~2~) values in laryngectomized individuals and to negatively influence patient compliance. The goal of the present study was to validate earlier published re
Background. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of breathing resistance of heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) on endotracheal climate and breathing pattern. Methods. Endotracheal temperature and humidity and tidal volumes were measured in 11 laryngectomized patients with a regular
