Meconium Aspiration Device

US Patent:

5000175, Mar 19, 1991

Filed:

Aug 8, 1979

Appl. No.:

7/390926

Inventors:

Alexander F. Pue - San Diego CA

International Classification:

A61M 1600

US Classification:

12820714

Abstract:

A meconium aspiration device which has a body (20) with a hollow chamber (26) inside. One end has an inlet opening (22) to which a suction catheter (30) is attached and the other end has a finger control port (24) with a groove (38) on the side. An outlet passage (28) at 45 degrees to the inlet opening has a tube (40) attached to a suction source and a stylet (34) is placed within the port, chamber and catheter allowing the catheter to be pre-shaped for intubation into a newborn. For meconium removal, the catheter is intubated and one's finger is placed over the port to control suction with the stylet retained in place or removed, as desired. Ventilation may be accomplished with the device by fixing a common ventilation mechanism over the finger control port with the stylet removed while on occlusion slide on the suction tube is used to pinch off communication with the suction source.
