What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
airway leak pressure
Time Frame: within 5 min of insertion of each device
Airway leak pressure was determined by adjusting the expiratory valve of the breathing circle to 40 cmH2O (fixed fresh gas flow 3 L/min) and recording the pressure when equilibrium was reached.
within 5 min of insertion of each device
