title: Efficacy of a heat and moisture exchange device during high-frequency jet ventilation.
abstract: A hygroscopic condensor humidifier has been tested during high-frequency jet ventilation, in an experimental set up. The influence of various ventilator settings on relative humidity, temperature and water content of the inspiratory and expiratory gases was investigated. The device provides adequate conditioning of the inspired gases with regard to relative humidity, temperature and water content at various ventilator settings.
