James,

-> I will have to try that. I've had air leaking around the trach, but
-> moving the tube or rotating the trach ties usually stop it.

The saline helps tightnen up the soft skin at the stoma. I have
also noticed if you put a slight downward twist on the flex tube, this
little bit of torque stops most air leaks around the trach.

-> Just send the message to "vent-users(AT)eskimo.com" to send to the list.
-> The list processor address is "listproc(AT)eskimo.com".

-> Hope that helps!

I'm sure it will. Thanks!
See ya!
