Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After a stroke, some patients need a breathing tube (tracheostomy) to help them breathe while they recover. This trial compares two methods to safely remove that tube: using a Passy-Muir Speaking Valve, which lets air flow naturally and helps you speak, versus the traditional capping method, which gradually blocks the tube over 2–3 days. The study will test which approach works better and is safer for stroke patients.
Keeping a breathing tube in place for too long can cause infections, scarring of the windpipe, and difficulty communicating. This trial exists to find the safest and most effective way to remove the tube so patients can breathe on their own again and recover faster.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to use either the Passy-Muir Speaking Valve or the capping method to prepare for removal of your breathing tube. Your medical team will monitor your breathing, oxygen levels, and comfort closely during the process. You'll have regular check-ups to ensure you're handling the transition well and to watch for any complications as your body adjusts to breathing on its own again.
