THE CIRCLE SYSTEM AS A HUMIDIFIER
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1989 In a laboratory model, humidity output was investigated in relation to the design of a circle absorber system. A 70-kg subject was simulated with fresh gas flows of 0.5, 2 or 5 litre min-1. Different circle systems, absorption canisters and tubings were studied.

RESISTANCE OF HUMIDIFIERS, AND INSPIRATORY WORK IMPOSED BY A VENTILATOR-HUMIDIFIER CIRCUIT
British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1991 The pressures and resistances of a bubble humidifier (Bennett Cascade) and a blow-by humidifier (Fisher and Paykel) were measured and computed at gas flow rates from 4.5 to 100 litre min-1. Pressures increased with flows, with the Bennett pressures being greater at all flows.
