Brief Summary:
This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of the Speaking Valve trial versus the traditional Capping trial as indicators for tracheostomy decannulation in stroke patients. The trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, outcomes-assessor-blinded study with an exploratory crossover design.
Detailed Description:
Stroke survivors may develop disorders of consciousness, dysphagia, and airway dysfunction, with some requiring tracheostomy for prolonged mechanical ventilation or airway protection. Prolonged tracheostomy tube placement can lead to complications such as infection, tracheal stenosis, and communication difficulties. Timely and safe decannulation is crucial for rehabilitation. While the capping trial (typically 48-72 hours) is widely used, the speaking valve offers potential advantages by restoring physiological airflow and facilitating communication. This trial will systematically compare these two methods to provide evidence for optimizing decannulation protocols.
