MULTIFUNCTIONAL BALLOON DILATATION CATHETER FOR INTRACORPOREAL MEMBRANE OXYGENATION AND USAGE METHOD THEREFOR
20230023758 · 2023-01-26 ·

Disclosed is a multifunctional balloon dilatation catheter for intracorporeal membrane oxygenation, comprising: a catheter hub, a dilatation balloon, and M channels. The M channels comprise at least a balloon dilatation channel for dilating the narrowed part of the airway, a positioning & detection channel for positioning or detecting while inserting, a supply channel for continuous oxygen supply or drug administration to the patient, and a secretion removal channel for removing secretions from the airway. The catheter hub is a multi-channel connection device, through which the M channels are respectively connected to the external therapeutic devices of the catheter. The catheter is inserted into a bronchiole of the lungs. When using the catheter for emergency treatment of patients with pneumonia, especially COVID-19, measures such as airway dilatation, oxygen supply, sputum suction and biopsy can be simultaneously performed, thereby improving the survival rate of patients and reducing lung damage.

Apparatus and method for improved assisted ventilation

Secretion clearing patient airway management system
09839755 · 2017-12-12 · ·

A pulmonary secretion clearing airway structure and related airway management system is disclosed that has a double lumen portion which each lumen of the double lumen portion operably secured to an airway management system so that inspiratory fluid (air/oxygen mixtures, with or without added water vapor) is delivered to the distal end of the ventilation catheter through one of the two lumens and expired inspiratory fluid, pulmonary secretions, and pulmonary fluids are removed from the patient through the other lumen. The expiratory fluid pathway preferably includes a secretion collection system for removing the pulmonary secretions and the like from the pathway, thereby improving operation and safety of the system. The airway structure can be a ventilation catheter or a supraglottic airway system such as laryngeal mask and the like.
