Hi lovely vent lady💗yet another informative video,do you use a fenestrated trach tube? I can't remember when I had a trach etc how I was able to speak as it was so long ago & things were different back then! I do remember it took ages to learn to speak & work with the machine! You must be used to it by now,I often wonder what's the longest a person has had a trach & been on a ventilator! You see all those young people on here paralysed from an accident having the machine breathe for them,so far I have seen one person that's been on a ventilator for around 20 yrs & has a good quality of life even though sometimes only their head moves! Thank you for all your videos & lovely comments back! I have had nasty comments about my disabilities & it does hurt,but then I get nice comments too💗💗
Hello. Thank you for your message. I do not use a fenestrated tracheostomy tube. I thought about switching to a fenestrated tracheostomy tube, but then I did this video. As I was researching, I realized the fenestrations can lead to complications such as granulation tissue. I decided I would not use a fenestrated tracheostomy tube. That is a good question. I will research and see if I can find out the longest a person has had a tracheosotmy tube and ventilator.

Fenestration tube can eat?
If you pass a swallow test (and if it is ok with your medical provider), it is ok to eat with a fenestrated trach tube.
