Summary
This study compares a new device called TrachPhone, which adds moisture to the air people breathe through a tracheostomy tube, to a standard humidifier. The goal is to see if TrachPhone helps manage lung secretions better and is safe and easy to use. The trial involves 22 adults with a tracheostomy due to a neurological condition who are not in intensive care.
