ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the effects of a one-way tracheostomy speaking valve based on neuromuscular electrical stimulation on aspiration in patients with dysphagia after tracheotomy for cerebral hemorrhage.

Methods:

From January to December, 2018, 37 patients with dysphagia after tracheotomy for cerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into control group (n = 21) and experimental group (n = 16). Both groups accepted neuromuscular electrical stimulation, while the experimental group was trained to use one-way tracheostomy speaking valve additionally, for three weeks. They were assessed with Functional Oral Food Intake Scale (FOIS) and Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) before and after treatment.

Results:

The scores of FOIS and PAS improved in both groups after treatment (|Z| > 3.544, P < 0.001), and was better in the experimental group than in the control group (|Z| > 2.094, P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

One-way tracheostomy speaking valve training based on neuromuscular electrical stimulation could improve swallowing and reduce aspiration of patients with dysphagia after tracheotomy.
