Abstract
Objective: To examine the influence of the endotracheal tube (ETT) on respiratory reactance (Xrs) measured with the forced oscillation technique (FOT) and develop a correction method for it.
Approach: In a bench study, the reactance of ETTs (Xtube) with different dimensions was measured on a breathing test lung in various respiratory settings.
Main results: Xtube can be accurately predicted by a fitted formula, with an R2 of 0.97, with negligible effects due to changes in respiratory pattern and lung volume.
Significance: The developed formula offers the ability to measure ETT-independent Xrs values of patients, improving the potential of FOT for lung function testing in mechanically ventilated newborns.
