Tracheal Tube Cuff Inflation Control And Monitoring System
US Patent:
5235973, Aug 17, 1993
Filed:
May 15, 1991
Appl. No.:
7/701450
Inventors:
Gary Levinson - Mason City IA
International Classification:
A61M 1600
US Classification:
12820715
Abstract:
A tracheal tube is equipped with two air lines to the inflatable cuff, one for monitoring cuff pressure and another of larger diameter for inflating the cuff. Intracuff pressure monitored via the smaller diameter line is continuously displayed. A cuff pressure control system allows independent adjustment of cuff pressure via the larger diameter line from high pressure during inspiration to low pressure during expiration. The switchover point is determined by a detecting pressure monitor in the mechanical ventilator inspiration line. The circuit also adjusts automatically to changes in the baseline expiration pressure. The output of a bidirectional mass flow sensor tracks airflow in the cuff inflation line and is integrated to indicate volume. Volume into the cuff is then compared to volume out of the cuff to detect cuff leakage.
