Abstract

See full text

An HME has a generally T-shape housing (1) with a central, laterally-extending port (2) for connecting to the machine end of a patient breathing tube (3) or mask. The housing (1) extends to either side of the port (2) and is curved to follow the shape of the patient's neck. Hygroscopic HME paper elements (4) are retained at opposite ends of the housing (1) so that all gas flowing to or from the tube via the HME passes through one or other of these elements. The housing (1) has a suction aperture (60) located directly opposite the port (2).
