Measurement of respiratory impedance by the forced oscillation technique (FOT) in intubated patients requires corrections for the flow-dependent resistance, inertance, and air compression inside the endotracheal tube (ETT). Recently, we published a method to correct respiratory impedance for the mechanical contribution of the ETT. To validate this correction, we compared the respiratory resistance obtained with this method (Rfo) to the intrinsic (Rmin) and total resistances (RT) measured by the airway-occlusion technique (OCT) in 16 intubated sedated paralyzed ventilated patients. The FOT was applied at functional residual capacity in the 4- to 32-Hz frequency range, whereas the OCT was performed at the end of a normal constant-flow inspiration. Rmin corrected with Rfo measured at 16 and 32 Hz [Rfo(16) = 1.10 x Rmin + 0.10 cmH2O.s.l-1, r = 0.96, P < 0.001; Rfo(32) = 0.93 x Rmin + 0.72 cmH2O.s.l-1, r = 0.97, P < 0.001]. RT corrected with Rfo at 4 Hz [Rfo(4) = 1.11 x RT - 1.48 cmH2O.s.l-1; = 0.92; P < 0.001]. We conclude that the FOT improved by correction for the behavior of the ETT is in good agreement with the OCT in intubated patients.
