Effect of cloth stoma covers on tracheal climate of laryngectomy patients

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cloth stoma covers (bibs) to compensate for breathing unconditioned air after laryngectomy and loss of heat‐moisture‐exchange (HME) functions of the upper airways, which, to the best of our knowledge, has never been reported. In addition, we compared the efficacy of inexpensive, simple, locally made, noncommercial fabric bibs with commercial bibs and stick‐over‐the‐stoma HME devices and to determine whether wetting the bib improves the tracheal climate.
