Popis: Background. This study was designed to assess endotracheal climate in laryngectomized patients in a warm and dry environment and the effects of a heat and moisture exchanger (HME). Methods. Endotracheal temperature and humidity were measured in 11 laryngectomized patients with a regularly used HME (Provox Normal HME; R-HME), an HME with antimicrobial filter (Provox Micron HME; F-HME), and without HME (open stoma). Measurements were performed at 32 degrees C, 34 degrees C, and 38 degrees C (
