This course is designed to show how normal swallow function may be affected by the placement of a tracheostomy tube and how the RCP and SLP can work together toward the common goals of: secretion management, airway protection, rehabilitation of the upper airway, and decannulation. Descriptions of exams performed by the SLP to diagnose swallowing problems and the use of treatment and compensatory strategies including muscle training of the upper airway to improve swallow function will be described. Current research on how the timing of swallow during the respiratory cycle may affect swallow wil

This webinar provides an introduction to the clinical benefits of the Passy Muir Swallowing and Speaking Valves as well as the basic principles of assessment and placement of the valve.
This webinar presents case studies with special needs related to tracheostomy, use of the bias-closed speaking valve, and swallowing issues. The therapists illustrate the difficulties of management using video and case history reviews and provide detailed overview of how to design a treatment plan for special cases, including a review of considerations.
This webinar will highlight the key components of Passy Muir Valve use in the Neonatal Intensive Unit (NICU) for swallowing and feeding. Limited information is available in the literature about application of the valve in this setting.
