In addition, normal mucociliary function may be impaired by inadequately humidified inspired gas. The ETT itself may cause irritation of the airways and increased secretion production, and in the presence of respiratory infection the increased amount and viscosity of pulmonary secretions further impede clearance.

Anaesthetic circuits are designed to give greater control over inspired gas concentrations using larger reservoir volumes consisting of both large and low compliance reservoir bags and large volume inflow tubing combined with masks or mouthpieces designed to reduce leakage and entrainment.

To prevent these pathologic changes, the American Association for Respiratory Care Clinical Practice Guidelines suggests that inspired gas contain a minimum of 30 mg of [H.sub.2]O per liter at 30 C (Branson, Campbell, Chatburn, & Covington, 1992).
