National Tracheostomy Safety Project.
Here, this short video explains how speaking valve trails commence in paediatric patients. If you are preparing for a trial, by watching this video both you and your child will understand what to expect. As shown in the earlier video, there are multiple functions of a speaking valve and reasons for its usage.
Our goal is to improve the safety and quality of care for patients with tracheostomies and laryngectomies through education. We’ve collaborated with key stakeholders in tracheostomy care and developed these freely accessible resources, supported by online learning developed with the Department of Health. We’ve worked with the Global Tracheostomy Collaborative since 2012 to improve care for patients and their families around the world.
This is one of a series of videos dedicated to training and education around paediatric tracheostomy care. The videos feature patients and their families and carers demonstrating and explaining their experiences with tracheostomies. All of the participants have given appropriate consent to feature in these videos.
