Abstract At The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) we treat many children requiring tracheostomy tube placement. With potential for a tracheostomy tube to be in place for an extended period of time, these children may be at risk for long-term disruption to normal speech development. As such, speaking valves that restore more normal phonation are often key tools in the effort to restore speech and promote more typical language development in this population. However, successful use of speaking valves is frequently more challenging with infant and pediatric patients than with adult patients. The purpose of this article is to review background information related to speaking valves, the indications for one-way valve use, criteria for candidacy, and the benefits of using speaking valves in the pediatric population. This review will emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration from the perspectives of speech-language pathology and respiratory therapy. Along with the background information, we will present current practices and a case study to illustrate a safe and systematic approach to speaking valve implementation based upon our experiences.

Surgical Emphysema

AbstractObjective:We report a case of post-partum surgical cervical emphysema, which is a rare but well recognised complication of labour. By reporting the first case in the ENT literature, we aim to raise awareness of this complication, particularly amongst trainees, to ensure that patients are managed most appropriately.Case report:A 36-year-old, primigravida woman developed neck swelling and odynophagia post-partum. Surgical cervical emphysema was palpated, with further examination excluding pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax. The patient was managed conservatively, with complete resolution of symptoms within a week.Conclusions:Surgical cervical emphysema, pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are all well recognised post-partum complications. The vast majority of cases do not present with respiratory or cardiac compromise and can be appropriately managed conservatively, with expectation of resolution in a fortnight. There is no evidence that such patients are at increased risk during subsequent pregnancies.
