Hi,
I use a trach, Portex #5 size 8mm cuffless. I'm 24hr vent dependent and
use an LP-10. I use
the Passey Muir in-line the circuit. It works great! I can say up to 8
words on one exhale. The
longer the inspiratory time on the vent, the more words. That setting is
determined by how
fast you need a whole breath.
