## 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
## Objective: The incidence of pulmonary complaints, severe tracheitis and lung function deterioration is increased during wintertime in laryngectomized individuals. we analyzed how a heat and moisture exchanger (hme) performs in cold and dry ambient circumstances, and how its efficiency in this en
Heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) humidify, warm and filter inspired gas, protecting patients and apparatus during anaesthesia. Their incorporation into paediatric anaesthetic breathing systems is recommended. We experienced delays in inhalational induction whilst using a Mapleson F breathing syst
