Aerodynamic Characteristics of Tracheostomy Speaking Valves.
Fornataro-Clerici, Lisa; Zajac, David J.
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v36 n3 p529-32 Jun 1993
Pressure-flow characteristics were determined for four different one-way valves (Kisner, Montgomery, Olympic, and Passy-Muir) used for speech production in tracheotomy patients. Results indicated significant differences in resistance among the valves, with the resistance of one valve substantially greater than that of the normal upper airways. (Author/JDD)
