Passy Muir Valves
![Page 5: Tracheostomy patients: Are we really their voice? Tracheostomy Discussion Group EBP Extravaganza December 18 th 2007 Amy Nelms & Beth King.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551be1f3550346af588b5f01/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Beginnings of clinical questions!
Company claims
‘ Passy Muir Valves aid in the weaning process’…It is considered negligent not to provide a valve…denying the right of communication.
What does the literature say?
![Page 6: Tracheostomy patients: Are we really their voice? Tracheostomy Discussion Group EBP Extravaganza December 18 th 2007 Amy Nelms & Beth King.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551be1f3550346af588b5f01/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Evidence: Clinical question
In ventilated tracheostomy patients, do Passy Muir valves reduce the time of mechanical ventilation?

PMV’s reduce time MV?
Frey, JA et al. 1991
Level IV evidence (below)
Clinical bottom line:Placement of PMV may assist weaning of some respiratory patients to independently tolerate CPAP mode.GREAT…but what does
it mean?

Evidence: Clinical questions
Does an inflated cuff exacerbate/increase aspiration at the level of the vocal folds?
![Page 10: Tracheostomy patients: Are we really their voice? Tracheostomy Discussion Group EBP Extravaganza December 18 th 2007 Amy Nelms & Beth King.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551be1f3550346af588b5f01/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Inflated cuff exacerbate/increase aspiration?
Davis et al 2002Level IV evidence
Clinical bottom line:
Cuff inflation may exacerbate/increase aspiration at the level of the vocal folds and an MBS should be pursued.
NEWS FLASH – EVIDENCE GROWS DAILY!!!!

New evidence to critique
ASHA conference 2007Skoretz. S & Coyle. J – Assessment of patients with tracheostomy: Dispelling the myths.
Ding & Logemann (2005): Inflated cuff status leads to significant increased frequency of silent aspiration and less hyolaryngeal elevation

Changes in Practice
Changes in Practice = EBP + Discussion + clinical experience + time!
What are TDG doing?
![Page 13: Tracheostomy patients: Are we really their voice? Tracheostomy Discussion Group EBP Extravaganza December 18 th 2007 Amy Nelms & Beth King.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551be1f3550346af588b5f01/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Changes in Practice
Do you use blue dye in your assessment? 63% No 37% Yes, as an adjunct to bedside swallowing
assessment This is a big change in our clinical practice,
because of a CAT completed by the TDG
![Page 14: Tracheostomy patients: Are we really their voice? Tracheostomy Discussion Group EBP Extravaganza December 18 th 2007 Amy Nelms & Beth King.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551be1f3550346af588b5f01/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Changes in Practice
Do you use Modified Barium Swallow (MBS) or Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)? Varies FEES appears to be used with more acute patients,
MBS down the track Many CAP’s/CAT’s indicate MBS or FEES is necessary
for accurate assessment of a patient with a tracheostomy. There are practical issues with adopting this EBP (eg very unwell patients in ICU can’t always be transported to x-ray for an MBS).
![Page 15: Tracheostomy patients: Are we really their voice? Tracheostomy Discussion Group EBP Extravaganza December 18 th 2007 Amy Nelms & Beth King.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551be1f3550346af588b5f01/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Changes in Practice
Do you use a cap or speaking valve during oral intake? 88% Yes, usually a Passy Muir Speaking Valve Majority of the group adopting EBP based on a
CAT
![Page 16: Tracheostomy patients: Are we really their voice? Tracheostomy Discussion Group EBP Extravaganza December 18 th 2007 Amy Nelms & Beth King.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551be1f3550346af588b5f01/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Changes in Practice
Are you involved with ventilated patients? 75% Yes: for feeding, weaning and communication Earlier intervention by SP’s
Do you use a Passy Muir Speaking Valve to assist weaning from the ventilator? Of those SP’s involved with ventilated with patients, ALL
are trialling PMSV to assist with weaning Based on most recent CAP done by the TDG
