What is 2016 Article 1249 about?
This study investigates the effects of speaking valves (SV) on lung recruitment in tracheostomised ICU patients weaning off mechanical ventilation. The use of SVs resulted in a significant increase in end expiratory lung impedance (EELI) and a decrease in end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), indicating improved lung recruitment without causing derecruitment. Overall, SVs may facilitate lung recruitment during the weaning process, supporting their safe use in this patient population.
