Anesthesia & Analgesia, 07/22/09
Uchiyama A et al. – Although inspiratory assist of spontaneous breathing in intubated patients is common, expiratory assist functions have rarely been reported. In this study, the performance of a new system designed to provide both inspiratory support (IS) and ES was examined during spontaneous breathing with the goal of reducing the effective resistance of the ETT. In this study of healthy volunteers, IS plus ES compensated for the airway resistance imposed by a ID 5.0 mm ETT to create pressure changes at the tip of the ETT similar to those of an ID 8.0 mm ETT.
