Clinical trials: Tracheostomy Patients
Tracheostomy, Communication
A Speech Recognition Application as a Communication Aid for Acute and Critical Care Patients With Tracheostomies
Patients in acute and critical care often undergo a tracheostomy. A tracheostomy is an incision at the front of the neck to insert a breathing tube directly into the airway.

Respiratory Failure, Speech
Early Speech With One-Way Speaking Valve in Tracheostomy Patients
Patients with tracheostomy who are on and off of mechanical ventilation initially lose the ability to speak, and the use of one-way speaking valves (OWSV) is one method of restoring speech in these patients.

- Trial name
- NCT03008174
- Testing
- Early one-way speaking valve (OWSV) assessment
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 20 people
