Summary

This study evaluates the impact of early tracheostomy speaking valve intervention on communication ability, depression levels, and quality of life in ventilator-dependent patients during the weaning phase. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group using the Passy-Muir speaking valve or a control group employing standard non-verbal communication methods. Structured questionnaires will be used at multiple time points to assess changes in patient outcomes. The study aims to provide evidence supporting the use of speaking valves to enhance communication and emotional well-being in tracheostomy patients, potentially improving recovery and care strategies.
