Filed:

Jun 15, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/153214

Inventors:

James Akin - Lexington KY, US
Jeffrey Boldt - Carmel IN, US
Diana Thomas - Phoenix AZ, US

International Classification:

A01N 1/02

US Classification:

435002000

Abstract:

A method is provided for a frozen egg bank comprising a) retrieving egg cells from an egg donor; b) cryopreserving said eggs in a cryopreservation solution; c) quarantining said eggs; and d) testing the egg donor for an infectious agent following a quarantine period of time. Optionally the method may also include testing the egg donor for genetic disorders, stimulating follicular development of the egg donor, and releasing the eggs for sale following step (d).

Appl. No.:

16/556112

Inventors:

Diana B. Thomas - Lexington KY, US

International Classification:

A61M 16/06
A61M 16/08
A61M 16/10
A61M 16/00

Abstract:

An endopharyngeal airway positive pressure ventilation device and method of use for ventilating a patient through a nasopharyngeal airway in surgical settings that is incapable of normal ventilation with current anesthetic techniques due to a risk for airway obstruction in surgical procedures requiring conscious sedation monitored anesthesia care (MAC). The invention includes a single-lumen endopharyngeal nasal tube with an eye shaped opening at its distal end and a cylindrical proximal end used as an adaptor for anesthetic applications such as positive airway pressure via JACKSON-REESE modified ambu-bag or other various anesthesiology applications. Contiguous to the distal end of the nasal tube is an end-tidal CO2 monitoring port (ETCO2). On the distal end of the flexible nasal ventilation tube is an eye opening allowing air flow to the posterior pharynx. The device further includes a modified JACKSON-REESE ambu bag which allows for controlled airflow to the patient during a procedure.
