A New Method for In Vivo Analysis of the Performances of a Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) in Mechanically Ventilated Patients by Matteo Filippini, Mauro Serpelloni, Valeria Quaranta, Paolo Bellitti, Emilio Sardini, Nicola Latronico

“…To evaluate the conditioning capabilities of the DAR™ Hygrobac™ S, a Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME), using a new device to measure the temperature (T) and the absolute humidity (AH) of the ventilated gases in vivo during mechanical ventilation in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. Materials and Methods. In 49 mechanically ventilated ICU patients, we evaluated T and AH, indicating the HME efficacy, during the inspiratory phase upstream and downstream the HME and the ratio of inspired AH to expired AH and the difference between expired T and inspired T indicated the HME efficiency. …”
