Yes, I am the one who started this newsgroup. For some reason your message
generated an error and it was only sent to me. I think you need to subscribe
to the list first, do that by sending a message to "listserv(AT)eskimo.com"
with the message "subscribe vent-usersf Annemie".

I don't know anyone who has a phrenic pacer. When my vent has become
disconnected (which rarely happens) someone has always been nearby. When
your vent has disconnected, has it been at the trach? What works well for
me is using rubber bands to hold the swivel adaptor secure to the trach.
