## 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

## Abstract ## Background The beneficial function of heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) is undisputed, but knowledge of their effects on intra‐airway 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
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
