Abstract:
An intubation assistance device includes an electronic controller configured to: generate a patient respiratory tract geometry model of at least a portion of a human respiratory tract by inputting one or more patient variables into a statistical shape model (SSM) of at least a portion of the human respiratory tract; select a recommended endotracheal tube (ETT) size by modeling at least one ETT model inserted into the patient respiratory tract geometry model to form a virtual fit model and estimating at least one fit parameter based on the virtual fit model; and display the recommended ETT size on a display device.
