Invasive Ventilation
Description
When the upper respiratory tract is bypassed by an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube, normal warming and humidification of inspired gases cannot take place. Dysfunction of the Mucociliary Transport System can occur if gases reaching the lowest respiratory tract are insufficiently warmed and humidified.
