-> I had alot of trouble with moisture accumulating in the tubing and
-> feeling like I was drowning... alarms were going off several times a
-> night because of it. My father rigged up something that has helped
-> to straighten the tubing as well as decrease the moisture going down
-> my trach. First he tied a string
Have you ever tried putting a "water trap" in-line? My circuit
hangs in such a way that it "loops" downward and the water runs down it
the lowest point along the tube. At this lowest point, I have attached
a water trap. A water trap is a device that catches excess
condensation in a detachable cup that is just screwed off to empty it.
To install one it is necessary to cut the circuit at the lowest point
and just put the water trap in-line. Since the cup holds about 4-5
ounces of water, I usually go all night without having my circuit fill
up with water. Occassionally, someone may have to get up and empty it
once a night. It might be worth looking into.
