Communication difficulties and their effects on patients who are mechanically ventilated are commonly reported and well described. The possibility of restoring speech for patients has obvious benefits, not only for meeting patient's immediate needs, but for helping them to re-engage in relationships and participate meaningfully in their recovery and rehabilitation. This opinion piece by a group of United Kingdom (UK) based Speech and Language Therapy experts working in critical care describes the various ways by which a patient's own voice can be restored. Common barriers to using different techniques and potential solutions are explored. We therefore hope that this will encourage intensive care unit (ICU) multi-disciplinary teams to advocate and facilitate early verbal communication in these patients.
机械通气患者的沟通困难及其影响已被普遍报道且描述详尽。恢复患者言语能力具有显著益处，不仅能满足患者的即时需求，还能帮助他们重新建立人际关系，并积极参与康复过程。这篇由一群在英国重症监护领域工作的言语治疗专家撰写的观点文章，描述了恢复患者自身声音的各种方法。文中探讨了使用不同技术的常见障碍及潜在解决方案。因此，我们希望这将鼓励重症监护病房（ICU）的多学科团队倡导并促进这些患者尽早进行言语交流。
