To evaluate the effect of the physical properties of density and viscosity on airway resistance, three perfluorochemical fluids (PFCs) were used: FC-75, Liquivent, and APF-140. Using two different endotracheal tubes (ETT) (3.0mm ID and 4.0mm internal diameter (ID)), the three fluids were studied at steady state flow conditions over a range that approximated peak flow required for liquid ventilation of neonatal lambs (0.005-0.02 l/sec). The slope of airway resistance (Raw)-flow curves and absolute values of Raw for the 3 PFC liquids were higher for the 3.0 ETT compared to the 4.0 ETT. The 3.0 ETT demonstrated resistance changes that were dependent on flow, density and viscosity. The 4.0 ETT showed a resistance-flow relationship that was relatively less dependent on flow, density and viscosity.
