摘要:
A laryngeal tube comprising a tubular component and a nozzle having a central cavity, an anterior opening and a tongue at least partially covering the central cavity. In one example, the laryngeal tube has a first lumen to deliver gases to a patient and a fluid barrier supported by the nozzle. In other examples, the laryngeal tube may include additional lumens including a service lumen to perform a function associated with the thorax and an inflation lumen to inflate the fluid barrier.
摘要:
A tracheal aid (1 ) usable for the assisted respiration of a patient (P) comprising: a first tracheal tube (2) having a proximal end (3) to be arranged protruding from the mouth (B) of the patient (P) and connectable to a device for the assisted respiration, and a distal end (5) that can be inserted on an orifice (O); a first inflatable cuff (8) externally coupled to the first tube (2); a second tracheal tube (15) having the distal end (16) that can be inserted on an orifice (O); a second inflatable cuff (19) externally coupled to the second tube (15); one junction element (25) stably coupled to the first tube (2) and the second tube (15), the junction element (25) being elastically flexible to allow the distal end (5) of the first tube (2) to be inserted on the trachea (T) of the patient (P) when the distal end (16) of the second pipe (15) is inserted in the esophagus (E).
摘要:
Devices and methods for preventing tracheal aspiration as described where a cuff assembly having an inflatable member with an inflation tube fluidly coupled may be placed over a proximal end of an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask and inserted into the patient trachea with the endotracheal tube or separately after the endotracheal tube has already been positioned. In either case, the inflatable member may be positioned distal (or inferior) to the vocal cords and proximal to the endotracheal balloon via a delivery instrument which automatically positions the balloon in proximity to the vocal cords.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for providing selective and non- selective cooling and warming of a patient. Multiple embodiments of devices are disclosed for performing rapid induction and maintenance of therapeutic hypothermia either in a hospital setting or in the field so that hypothermic treatment can be quickly instituted before significant tissue damage occurs. Methods are also disclosed for targeting brain cooling by irrigating the upper airway, aerodigestive tract, and/or more generalized cooling by imgating the esophagus and/or stomach.
摘要:
According to various embodiments, a medical system and method for early detection of shock and/or sepsis may include devices configured to provide information about carbon dioxide and/or pH levels in a patient's tracheal tissue and in a respiratory path. Specifically, a relationship between carbon dioxide and/or pH in the tracheal tissue vs. respiratory gases (e.g., lung gases) may be used to determine if a patient is at risk of developing shock or sepsis. In certain embodiments, if carbon dioxide in the tracheal tissue deviates from end-tidal carbon dioxide, a patient may be experiencing early stages of hypoperfusion associated with shock and/or sepsis.
