All devices were set to deliver 37C at the proximal airway. During each period of ventilation, the following were measured; airway temperature, min and max body temperature, number of suction ing attempts, volume of secretions, consistency of secretions, number and volume of saline instilled, water usage, condensate, ventilator settings, minute volume, number of circuit disconnec tions. Water usage was measured by weighing the water bag before and after 24h use. Consistency of secretions were judged as thin, moderate, or thick as previously described (Suzukawa: Respir Care1989, 34 :976). Condensate was measured by emptying fluid into a graduated container and sputum volume measured by collecting secretions in a Luken’s trap. Airway temperature was measured at the ET tube using a rapid response thermistor. Resis tance of the AHME was measured before and after use.
