Hot-wire circuits are quite common in the intensive care unit. The placement of wire-heating ele-ments into the ventilator circuit allows the gas delivered to the patient to remain at a constant temperature.

ANS: A
Contraindications of heat and moisture exchanger use are hypothermia, the presence of uncuffed endotracheal tubes, use with heated humidification, and an increase in the volume of secretions.
