Humidification Performance of Heat and Moisture Exchangers for Pediatric Use

Figure 3

Effect of leakage on absolute humidity. This figure shows the pooled results for respiratory rates of 20 and 30 breaths/min, and with pressure control set at 10, 15, and 20 cmH₂O. HME: heat and moisture exchanger. Mean ± SD; *𝑃<0.01 versus no leakage; ^†𝑃<0.01 versus small leak.
