A point I’ve never considered in trache weaning and rehab highlighted by Emma Rybicki @AtosMedicalUK @NTSP_UK

Using a OOV with cuff deflation allows a patient to perform a valsalva manoeuvre through resorted glottic closure.. this helps brace for mobility & toileting!

Great talk from Brendan McGrath on early cuff deflation in ITU @AtosMedicalUK..

🏡 LOS shortened with early cuff deflation
➕ve pressure is not lost when the cuff is deflated on TIV
➕ve pressure can be helpful to push saliva etc up and out when the cuff is deflated

Interesting discussion around the use of atropine administration sublingually for saliva management..

1. Where in the mouth do people place/advise to use the drops?
2. Do you drop directly into the mouth or administer on a spoon?
3. Do you advise good saliva/mouth clearance pre?
