Plan for Capping help needed

Hi All,
I had asked this suggestion earlier too.We want to start capping on our 18 month old child.He is good with PMV .Last time we tried capping he would just
not breathe and it turned out he had a scar tissue covering 85% for the airway They removed most of it one month back.
Now how do we start we tried covering his trach with finger but he would not
do well.Ent thought his airways looked good no collapese or issues like that.
