Queens, NY

This tutorial provides a background to the history of tracheostomy and ventilator-dependence, as well as two clinical case studies that describe the management of voice and communication. The rationale for establishment of upper airway flow in the tracheostomized and ventilator-dependent patient is explained. Assessment and treatment paradigms are described for the clinician working with this complex population, in order to provide guidelines for daily clinical practice.
