“…Over time, this feature results in both functional and structural changes of the tracheo-broncho-alveolar system 2 which probably exacerbate or add to respiratory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). 3 Attempts to analyze respiratory function with tests such as spirometry and plethysmography have been described in the literature, highlighting the substantial difficulty in performing the test by individuals and applying the aids to the stoma of the laryngectomized patient. 4 Oscillometry, also known as Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT), measures the mechanical properties of the respiratory system during quiet tidal breathing, by the application of an oscillating pressure signal minimizing the problems related to the patient's lack of compliance.…”

Attempts to analyze respiratory function of the laryngectomized patient with tests such as spirometry and plethysmography have been described in the literature, highlighting however substantial difficulties. Oscillometry, through the forced oscillation technique (FOT), measures the mechanical properties of the respiratory system minimizing the problems related to the patient's lack of compliance. This methodology has never been applied to these patients and therefore represents a new perspective in the analysis of respiratory function.

Patients who have undergone total laryngectomy (TL) are, in most cases, affected by lung disease due to smoking habits. Therefore, as part of the follow‐up protocol for these patients, a spirometry test should be performed to adequately assess lung function. Current spirometers do not allow for spirometry tests in patients who breathe through a tracheostomy, as the patient cannot perform respiratory acts from the spirometer mouthpiece, which is designed to be used by mouth. We have, therefore, designed a device that allows the test to be performed through the tracheostoma. The device is made of biocompatible polymeric material, modeled using a 3‐dimensional printer, reusable, and hermetically connected to the spirometer distally and to the tracheostoma proximally. The device was used on 5 patients who underwent TL and was found to be comfortable, safe, and valid for diagnostic purposes.
