4. Adverse events/ Trouble
shooting by symptom
It is the responsibility of your clinician to inform you
about risks and benefits of prosthetic voice rehabilitation
and to instruct you what to do in case you may encounter
adverse events. If you are not sure that you have completely
understood all instructions, ask your clinician for further
explanation.
Symptom:
Coughing (triggered by drinking or eating)
while the prosthesis is in place.
Most common reasons:
Leakage through or around the
prosthesis.
Measures:
1. Clean the prosthesis with the Provox Brush and if possible
also with the Provox Flush. There may be food remnants
preventing the valve from proper closure.
If leakage continues:
2. Observe the prosthesis while drinking. Try to identify
if it leaks through the center or around the prosthesis.
a.) If you think it leaks through the center you can use the
Provox Vega Plug while you are eating and drinking
to prevent leakage. Notify your clinician that you need
a new prosthesis.
b.) If you think it leaks around, or if the Plug does not stop
the leakage, notify your clinician that you may have
leakage around your prosthesis.
Symptom: Speaking becomes more and more difficult.
Most common reasons: Valve obstruction, tissue swelling
in the throat (e.g. during radiotherapy).
Measures:
1. Clean the prosthesis with the Provox Brush and/
or Flush. There may be food remnants increasing the
airflow resistance.
2. If that does not help: Contact your clinician immediately.
Symptoms: Pain, heat, swelling, and rash (together or
alone) in the area of the prosthesis or stoma.
Most common reasons: Tissue inflammation and infections.
Measures: Contact your clinician immediately.
Symptoms:
Traces of blood are seen on the brush after
brushing.
Most common reasons:
Tissue inflammation and infections
at the esophageal side.
Measures:
Contact your clinician immediately.
