    Abstract: A laryngeal elevation measurement device is provided that includes first and second displacement sensors and a control unit. The first displacement sensor is attachable to a neck of a test subject. The second displacement sensor 22 attachable to a site that is part of the neck of the test subject and that is located at a predetermined distance from the first displacement sensor. The control unit acquires the displacement amounts of the first and second displacement sensors. The control unit estimates positional changes of the laryngeal prominence of the test subject based on changes over time in the displacement amount of the first displacement sensor and changes over time in the displacement amount of the second displacement sensor, and the predetermined distance. The control unit outputs a result of estimation.

    Abstract: A catheter assembly is provided that includes a puncture tool and a catheter. The puncture tool includes a hollow puncture needle configured to puncture a blood vessel, a detection portion that protrudes forward from a tip of the puncture needle and detects pulsation of the blood vessel, and a determination portion that determines whether the blood vessel is a vein or an artery based on the pulsation of the blood vessel detected by the detection portion. The detection portion includes a probe provided inside the hollow puncture needle that is configured to advance and retreat in an axial direction, and a sensor that detects pulsation of a blood vessel transmitted via the probe.
