Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for subscribing. No, I do not believe there is a permanent solution for the tracheostomy tube.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much. I appreciate all your kindness.

Hello. Thank you for your kind words. Blood pressure can be a sign of high carbon dioxide. However, a person does not have to have all the symptoms listed if he has high carbon dioxide. A person can have high carbon dioxide and also have low blood pressure. I hope you have a great day.

I am glad my videos give you motivation. Thank you for fighting.

@@LifewithaVent we are all somehow blessed to have you on youtube, can't express the gratitude through words 🖤😍. Thank you so much 🖤

@@mohankumars6811 Thank you for all your kind words.

You are welcome 🤗

Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you enjoyed the video. I do not have a video on how to inflate and assemble a BMV Ambu bag. Yes, I have an email. It is: life.with.a.vent@gmail.com

Hello!

Hello. I keep my cuff inflated most of the day. When I speak, I deflate my cuff. I use a Trilogy 100. The ventilator usually does not alarm when I deflate my cuff. I also have as many of the alarms disabled as possible. When I used the Trilogy Evo, I had a lot more issues with the ventilator alarming when I talked. If I use a hospital ventilator, I cannot deflate the cuff without the ventilator alarming like crazy! I have a secondary setting which I can use when speaking. It has an increased tidal volume. I do not switch to this secondary setting if I am only talking for a brief time because I usually forget to switch it back to the primary setting. But when I film, I often will switch the secondary setting to get the needed breath support while speaking.

@@LifewithaVent thanks for getting back to me. My wife has the trilogy Evo and she is home where I take care of her. She also has a feeding tube. JERRY

@@LifewithaVent I was wondering if you've ever used the BiPAP setting on the machine my wife can tolerate it for a few hours. JERRY

Your wife is very fortunate to have you. Thank you for taking care of her. I have used the BiPAP setting, but it fatigues my breathing muscles pretty quickly. I am glad your wife is able to tolerate it for a few hours.

Oxygen saturation on a pulse oximeter is often normal during hypercapnia.

When I stood up, my heart rate went into the 170's.
