RESUMO

When tracheal intubation is necessary during ventilatory support, the physiological mechanisms of heating and humidifying the inspired air are supressed, so it is vital the preconditioning of the inspired gases with the goal of offering water and heat contents similar to those normally provided by the upper airways. These tasks of humidification and heating can be accomplished through the use of heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs). Objectives: 1- Evaluate and compare the humidification and heating capacity of eight different types of HMEs in a respiratory system analog using preserved swine lung. 2- Evaluate the impact of each one of the tested HMEs over alveolar ventilation in a mevhanical model of the respiratory system
