Abstract
Automated tube compensation (ATC) is a new mode of ventilatory assistance that aims to compensate for the resistance of endotracheal tube and, hence to reduce the resistive work of breathing.

Once removed the endotracheal tube from patients, who were extubated in our ICU after successful weaning trial, was connected to a filter (Hygrobac), and both were attached to ASL 5000 active servo lung (IngMar medical)
ATC was set to 80% compensation and the internal diameter of the endotracheal tube for each patient was entered into the ventilator dialog box
Summary
Automated tube compensation (ATC) is a new mode of ventilatory assistance that aims to compensate for the resistance of endotracheal tube and, to reduce the resistive work of breathing.further expressed as percent of ideal PTP500, which was airway pressure recorded at the end of inspiratory time multiplied by 0.5 s. Bench study of automated tube compensation versus pressure support after extubation in ICU patients Introduction Automated tube compensation (ATC) is a new mode of ventilatory assistance that aims to compensate for the resistance of endotracheal tube and, to reduce the resistive work of breathing.
