A remote, live in-service (virtual) may be pre-scheduled for education for a variety of medical settings and professionals. In-service webinars are presented by a clinician experienced in the use of the Passy Muir Valve and provide information related to the physiologic changes that may occur following the placement of a tracheostomy tube. We offer a variety of webinar topics ranging from assessment (including upper airway assessment, transitioning from vent to non-vent use, and troubleshooting strategies) to ethics, Trachlore, dysphagia, and so much more. Some webinars include demonstrations and case studies to enhance learning. All presentations provide evidence-based benefits of using a bias-closed, no-leak speaking Valve, including the impacts on voicing, swallowing, secretion management, and decannulation.

For those clinicians and facilities who are interested in increasing Passy Muir Valve use with patients on mechanical ventilation or who want to develop a multi-disciplinary team, a webinar may be scheduled that includes discussion on ventilator adjustments to increase successful placement of the Valve and safe alarm practices or a webinar with clinical discussion on team development.

Here are a few comments from clinicians who have received education:

Salió extremadamente bien y los neumólogos se mostraron muy entusiastas con respecto a colocar la PMSV directamente con la ventilación mecánica más temprano en nuestro entorno de cuidados intensivos. Creo que despertamos un gran interés en los médicos para mejorar la atención que brindamos, lo cual es fantástico.

Paula Diannitto MS, CCC-SLP, Tulane Medical Center, LA

Estamos usando las válvulas extensivamente... y hemos tenido un gran éxito al usarlas directamente. De hecho, ¡una paciente acaba de hablar por primera vez en DOS AÑOS! Cuando ella habló con éxito, la terapeuta del habla y las enfermeras estaban de pie alrededor de la paciente llorando de alegría. Es sorprendente cómo poder hablar de nuevo puede hacer que un paciente se vuelva a sentir más como una persona y facilitar el proceso de decanulación.
