This promotes louder voice, improved swallow, stronger cough, and may increase oxygenation.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>Superior Voice\/Speech Production<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\">Tracheostomized and ventilator-dependent patients can produce clearer voices with more normal phrasing, better vocal quality, and increased volume because all exhaled airflow is redirected up past the vocal folds.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>Improves Swallow &amp; May Reduce Aspiration<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\">The bias-closed position, no-leak design of the <span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valve<\/span> can improve the safety and efficiency of swallowing and may reduce aspiration. The bias-closed position Valve restores the patient to a more normal closed system which facilitates increased pharyngeal and laryngeal sensation and restores positive subglottic air pressure.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>Restores Subglottic Pressure<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\">Only the bias-closed position, no-leak design of the <span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valve<\/span> reestablishes a closed respiratory system and restores subglottic pressure, which improves swallowing and may reduce aspiration.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>In-Line Ventilator Use<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\">Adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients on the ventilator may utilize the <span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valve<\/span> during mechanical ventilation. All <span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valves<\/span> are interchangeable (except the PMV 2020) and can be used both on or off acute-care and portable ventilators.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>Facilitates Weaning<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\"><span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valves<\/span> are used as an augmentative tool for weaning patients from the ventilator as it reestablishes physiologic PEEP, which in turn may improve oxygenation. As the patient becomes accustomed to exhaling through the upper airway, patient confidence is improved and respiratory muscle retraining is facilitated.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>Reduces Decannulation Time<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\"><span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valves<\/span> may be used as an interim step in the decannulation process by allowing the patient to begin to adjust to a more normal breathing pattern through the upper airway on exhalation. This allows the patient to gain confidence and the physician to assess for airway patency and can significantly shorten the decannulation process.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>May Improve Oxygenation<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\">The bias-closed position, no-leak design of the <span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valves<\/span> restores a more normal closed respiratory system. As a result, Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) is reestablished which may facilitate improved oxygenation.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>Improves Olfaction<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\"><span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valves<\/span> improve the sense of smell by re-establishing airflow through the oral and nasal cavities during exhalation. This improved sense of smell may lead to an increase in sense of taste, appetite, and caloric intake, which are all important in the recovery process.<\/dd>\n\n<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>Facilitates Secretion Management<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\">The bias-closed position, no-leak design of the <span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valve<\/span> facilitates secretion management as it re-establishes a closed system that enables the patient to produce a stronger, more effective cough and improves swallowing due to restored positive subglottic pressure. It also facilitates evaporation of secretions due to the redirection of air through the upper airway during exhalation. As a result, suctioning needs may be reduced.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>Facilitates Infection Control<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\">The <span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valve<\/span> eliminates the need for finger occlusion of the tracheostomy tube, which may help prevent infection and offers protection from particulates entering the trachea. The <span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valve<\/span> redirects secretions through the upper airway, allowing oral expectoration and reducing contamination of the patient's immediate environment.<\/span>\n\n\n<h3>Interchangeability Between Tracheostomy and Ventilator Use<\/h3>\n\n\n<span class=\"translation-block\">All <span class=\"pmv_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\"><span class=\"pm_ws\">Passy Muir<\/span><\/span> Valves<\/span>, except the PMV 2020, can be used both on and off the ventilator with both pediatric and adult patients.
