Which trach tube Cannot be used with Passy Muir valve?
The clinician should never attempt to use a Valve with a patient on a fenestrated tracheostomy tube while the cuff is inflated.
Can someone talk after a tracheostomy?
Speech. It’s usually difficult to speak if you have a tracheostomy. Speech is generated when air passes over the vocal cords at the back of the throat. But after a tracheostomy most of the air you breathe out will pass through your tracheostomy tube rather than over your vocal cords.

What is inline PMV?
The Passy Muir Valve (PMV) is a bias-closed, one-way valve, which allows the trach patient to inspire via the trach tube and exhale through the upper airway and vocal cords. It requires minimal effort to open and closes itself when inspiratory flow stops (“Bias close,” “Positive closure”).
What is a fenestrated tracheostomy tube?
The big difference between fenestrated vs unfenestrated tracheostomy tubes is that a fenestrated tracheostomy tube has a small hole or multiple holes in the shaft of the tracheostomy tube, above the cuff (if present). These small openings allow for increased airflow through the upper airway.
Can a Passy Muir speaking valve be worn with a trach collar?
Tracheostomy tube cuffs must be completely deflated prior to placement of Passy Muir Valve (PMV)! Use of a PMV with a foam-filled trach cuff is contraindicated! Use Standard Precautions with all tracheostomy tube patients. Place pilot balloon safety label as provided in the package.
How does a speech valve work?
When your child breathes out, the valve shuts, blocks the tube and redirects air out of the tracheostomy tube into your child’s airway to pass through the vocal cords and up out of the mouth and nose. This allows your child to produce voice and then speech as it passes out of the mouth and nose.
