Transtracheal Energy Application And Sensing System For Intubation: Method And Apparatus
Transtracheal Energy Application And Sensing System For Intubation: Method And Apparatus
US Patent:
5560351, Oct 1, 1996
Filed:
Oct 7, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/319543
Inventors:

Assignee:
University of Florida - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
A61M 1604
US Classification:
12820026
Abstract:
An intubation scope assembly adapted to facilitate the positioning of an endotracheal tube in a patient comprising an electromagnetic or sound energy source which enters the vocal cords exteriorly of the neck of the patient with energy having a direction, wavelength and intensity capable of entering the trachea, substantially avoiding encompassing the entire pharynx and capable of being transmitted cephalad substantially between and/or around the vocal cords. A suitable sensor for the energy emitted by such source comprises a stylet assembly, the distal end of which can detect or collect the energy transmitted between and/or around the vocal cords and the proximal end of which can monitor the detected or collected energy to thereby locate the vocal cords for positioning an endotracheal tube therebetween. A system and method of intubating a patient with the foregoing assembly are also disclosed.
