A Supraglottic Airway Device for intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation
20210162154 · 2021-06-03 ·

An airway device to be inserted into a patient's throat and to be function as a supraglottic airway device during a positive pressure ventilation and spontaneous ventilation that includes an air tube, an air sac, a tongue lifting means, a pulling unit and a drainage systems. The pulling unit will be pulled by an operator's hand to cause the tongue lifting means upward movement to open up the air sac and lift up the tongue base. The air tube lumen and the air sac are configured to have inflow airflow be divided and follow specific route therefore to deliver the focused airflow to vocal cords opening, and also to let inspired airflow enter desired area of the air sac to expand the air sac to form seals with surrounding tissue. During expiration, the pressure will be relieved. Different design of the drainage system can be configured to drained fluid from upper esophagus or from posterior pharyngeal wall.

Positioning Sputum Suction Laryngeal Mask

The invention relates to a positioning sputum suction laryngeal mask. The positioning sputum suction laryngeal mask comprises a mask body and a mask body tube, wherein the mask body comprises a mask body bottom plate and a mask main body arranged on the mask body bottom plate, a central region in the mask main body is provided with a mask body cavity communicated with the mask body tube, a stomach decompression tube corresponding to the stomach mouth is arranged on the back side of the mask body bottom plate, and the stomach decompression tube is isolated from the mask body cavity through the mask body bottom plate. The positioning sputum suction laryngeal mask also comprises a connection suction mechanism capable of realizing negative pressure suction in a gas supply process. The connection suction mechanism comprises a suction connecting tube which is arranged in the mask body bottom plate, and the end, located in the mask body bottom plate, of the suction connecting tube is communicated with the stomach decompression tube.
