In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Passy Muir Valve and Tracheostomy Plug for Tracheostomy. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Limited research has been done to assess the safety of PMV use during sleep. One prospective study completed by Diez-Gross, et al in 2007 looked at 10 male subjects recorded on two consecutive nights, one night with PMV on and one night with PMV off. All recordings took place in a monitored setting. The variables studied included O2 saturation, apnea index, apnea - hypopnea index, and nursing reports. Conclusion was PMV use for one night in seriously ill tracheostomy patients was not associated with respiratory distress or cardiac issues.
