Donnelly, M.D.
Anesthesiologist
"As an anesthesiologist, I have spent 40 years of my career
keeping patients' airways open, and now I have become a tracheostomized
patient. For me, personally, the Passy-Muir Valve is better than capping my
tracheostomy tube, because it keeps the secretions from accumulating in the
tracheostomy tube. The Passy-Muir Valve is wonderful, I really couldn't do
without it. Even my doctor feels that my voice is better and clearer with the
Passy-Muir Valve. I do not feel handicapped at all!"

Collins, M.D.
Pediatrician
"Although I cannot tolerate having my tracheostomy tube plugged,
I do tolerate wearing the Passy-Muir Valve very well. I can cover my
tracheostomy tube and the Passy-Muir Valve with a scarf to minimize their
presence while still being able to work and talk. I have found that the
Passy-Muir Valve reduces airway irritation and facilitates secretion control so
that I can go for long periods without coughing. The Passy-Muir Valve is
terrific! It has helped to normalize life for me." |
