INCREASE IN RESISTANCE OF IN-LINE BREATHING FILTERS IN HUMIDIFIED AIR

P. M. BUCKLEY

Intensive Therapy Unit, Royal Liverpool Hospital Prescot Street, Liverpool

A study has been performed to measure the resistance of Pall Ultipor BB50 filters when exposed to humidified air for 48 h during artificial ventilation by an Engstrom Erica ventilator fitted with a Bennett Cascade Mk2 humidifier. A marked increase in resistance wax demonstrated. A hypothesis it presented as to the aetiology of these findings together with details of minor modifications to the system which allow the use of these filters under clinically acceptable conditions.
