Use of TrachPhone in Tracheostomized Patients
Sponsor: Atos Medical AB
Summary
The use of Heat and Moisture Exchangers (HMEs) and their positive impact on pulmonary health have been extensively studied in patients with head and neck cancer but have not been systematically explored in other patient populations breathing through a neck stoma. The objective of this clinical investigation is to compare the use of HMEs to the use of External Humidifiers (EHs) on pulmonary secretion management, their usability and safety, for humidifying inhaled air in patients that received a tracheostomy due to a neurological condition.
