| Research Abstract |
The resistance of the endotracheal tube (ETT), the heat and moisture exchanger (HME), and the ventilator may affect the patient's respiratory status. Although previous studies examined the inspiratory work of breathing (WOB), investigation of WOB in the expiratory phase is rare. Firstly, we estimated tracheal pressure at the tip of the ETT and calculated expiratory WOB imposed by the ETT, the HME, and the ventilator. As mean expiratory flow increased, imposed expiratory WOB increased. Levels of imposed expiratory WOB were affected by ETT diameter and ventilator mode. Secondly, in order to reduce imposed expiratory WOB, we developed a new version of expiratory support system, which was attached to the respiratory circuit of the ordinary ventilator. This system consisted of five electromagnetic valves and a piston syringe, which were regulated by the signals of airway pressure, respiratory flow, and tracheal pressure. It could reduce expiratory WOB due to a small size of ETT.
