China300 participantsStarted 2025-10-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of predicting upper airway patency in patients with prolonged tracheostomy using a non-invasive method combining speaking valve (SV) and transtracheal end-expiratory pressure (TTPEE) through a multicenter study.

Inclusion Criteria: * Weaned from ventilator more than 48 hours * No any organ failure * No sepsis * Stable heart rate and blood pressure * Lung infection under control * PCO2\<60mmHg * Patient and family sign informed consent form Exclusion Criteria: * Serious dysfunction of vital organs * Inability to tolerate cuff deflation * Laryngopharyngeal trauma * Known severe upper airway obstruction before referrer to our department * Endoscopy(bronchoscopy or laryngoscopy) has been performed and the condition of the upper airway has known

What they're measuring

The sensitivity and specificity of SV with transtracheal end-expiratory pressure measurement in predicting upper airway patency

Timeframe: The patients started using the SV with the TTPEE measurement on the day of enrollment. After that, bronchoscopy should be performed within 48 hours.
