After removing the ventilator and can reath on her own. Can she be able to talk as normal again?

Bad open suctioning job there should be a suction depth charted not just a guess and wrapping around his glove is not ok

My DME doesn't does not provide heated humidity. All we got was cold mist. I do not tolerate cool mist, so I just don't even bother coming off the ventilator. I just stay on it, because I get my humidity there. Cool mist is horibly irritating to the airways and people use it like it's the best thing on earth for trach patients. IT'S NOT! It's archaic respiratory care, that should've gone the way of the croup tent years ago! But now, they're still putting patients on these trach collars with cold wet air going through them. You're just asking for infection. Why do you think they ditched croup tents? Because they spread bacteria, and they left the patients in a cold, and damp environment, thus not doing anything for the patient's lungs, instead of helping. All these old therapies, like the Croup tent, and the Hubbard tank, are absent from hospitals, and those cold mist set ups need to go that way. You go to the hospital looking for a Stryker frame? You're not going to find one, because they use electronic automated beds to turn patients prone. You go to the hospital looking for an iron lung? You're not going to find one. Why? Because they use Positive Pressure Ventilation. But you go to the hospital looking for patients with a trach, on cool mist set ups, You'll find them. I've been on those, and hated them. They made me cough, and they didn't thin my secretions. They made them thicker. So, now I'm on a ventilator since 2015, and when I asked for heated humidification, through a heater wire humidifier, I was told that they don't use that kind of set up, but they use those archaic compressors with cool mist. So I just said, "I'll stay on the heater wire circuit through my ventilator. Not coming off of it.

@ak on I am on a ventilator due to neuromuscular weakness of the diaphragm, and central apnea even while awake. I have had this trach since 2015

@ak on They don't think that this is something that will be reversible.

Should be sterile suction, just sayin
