System And Method For Monitoring Nerve Activity Within A Trachea Of A Patient
20210338164 · 2021-11-04 · ·

An intraoperative nerve monitoring system for monitoring nerve activity within a trachea of a patient. The intraoperative nerve monitoring system includes an endotracheal (ET) tube assembly, which includes an ET tube partially inserted within a trachea and a surface electrode wrapped about the ET tube. The ET tube is configured to monitor nerve activity when the ET tube is partially inserted within the trachea and is contacting a target tissue and to output a nerve signal. The intraoperative nerve monitoring system also includes a pressure sensor assembly configured to sense an amount of pressure between the surface electrode and the target tissue and a console including an output device configured to output indicators based on the monitored nerve activity and the sensed amount of pressure to facilitate proper placement of the ET tube in the trachea and to indicate nerve activity.

An airway adjunct or airway assembly that comprises a gas administration tube and a gas sampling tube can be utilized to improve health care to a patient. The gas administration tube may be connected, for example, to an oxygen source. The gas sampling tube may be connected, for example, to capnography equipment. Internal terminal ends of the gas administration tube and gas sampling tube can be longitudinally offset from one another within the airway assembly, which may reduce diffusion of the exhaled gas to be sampled, thereby increasing monitoring accuracy. Some embodiments of the present disclosure comprise an airway adjunct adaptable to attach into or onto various types of airway devices.

ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION FOR PREVENTING INJURY TO THROAT, VOCAL CORDS, AND TRACHEA

The invention is an endotracheal intubation for preventing injury to throat, vocal cords and trachea. The endotracheal intubation comprises a hollow intubation body with a variable outer diameter. The hollow intubation body comprises a front end and a tail end, an inner intubation wall and an outer intubation wall, and having a retracted state with a smaller outer diameter and an expanded state with a larger outer diameter. When the endotracheal intubation inserted into a patient’s trachea needs to be replaced, as long as the hollow intubation body of the new endotracheal intubation is in the retracted state, it can be inserted into the hollow intubation body to be replaced, and when reaching the position, the hollow intubation body to be replaced is withdrawn, and finally the new hollow intubation body is changed into the expanded state, i.e. the replacement operation of the endotracheal intubation is completed.

Advanced Airway System Nasopharyngeal Injector
20230136413 · 2023-05-04 ·

An Advanced Airway System Nasopharyngeal Injector is used to reduce the size of a Nasopharyngeal tube significantly. The Nasopharyngeal tube is folded in half. The Advanced Airway System Nasopharyngeal Injector will slide down the middle of the tube, locking a portion of the Nasopharyngeal tube into the track groove (104). The Nasopharyngeal tube reduction in size allows the tube to pass through the nasal passageway, decreasing discomfort and preventing debris from entering the tube. Once the Nasopharyngeal tube is administered into the passageway, it unfolds to fill the nasal passage. The Advanced Airway System Nasopharyngeal Injector uses a one-size-fits-all nasopharyngeal tube made from various materials or additive manufacturing to reduce weight and give the Advanced Airway System Nasopharyngeal Injector flexibility and durability.
