Summary
This study looked at whether using a Passy Muir valve (a device that helps people with a tracheostomy speak) during sleep is safe and might improve sleep quality. Researchers monitored 33 adults in a long-term care hospital, checking vital signs like heart rate, oxygen levels, and breathing. The goal was to see if wearing the valve at night causes any breathing or heart problems.
