Can use of the Passy Muir Valve during Nighttime Sleep be considered safe?
Bias no-leak speaking valces have been FDA approved for daytime use for patients with tracheostomy tubes, while such approval was not been given for nighttime use. However, there is a paucity of research that supports this recommendation and it is a much asked question if patients could safely sleep while wearing the valve. We hypothesized that nocturnal use of a bias-closed no leak speaking valve is safe and does not affect the quality of sleep.Project Type: Research
