Filed:

Oct 9, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/267383

Inventors:

Harry Bayron - West Palm Beach FL, US
Neil Winthrop - Royal Palm Beach FL, US

International Classification:

A62B009/02

US Classification:

12820524, 12820513, 12820714, 12820718

Abstract:

A respiratory valve apparatus with a housing having a upper entry port and an opposite endotracheal tube connection port, along with a resuscitation bag connection port and an respirator connection port. The housing has an inner chamber. A reciprocating valve assembly fits within a chamber and slides between two positions whereby the entry, endotracheal, and respirator ports are open in one position, and the entry, endotracheal, and resuscitation ports are open in the second position. The valve assembly is a component of a surgical kit including a resuscitation bag, an endotracheal tube, and a suction catheter. A guide fixture can be attached to the entry port to help steer a catheter through the apparatus. An elongated protective bag can be sealably attached around the catheter to prevent external contact with the catheter surfaces when it is withdrawn.

Inventors:

International Classification:

A61M 16/20

US Classification:

12820514

Abstract:

A respiratory valve apparatus with a housing having an inner chamber, an endotracheal tube connection port, a respirator connection port and a resuscitation bag connection port. A valve positioned within the inner chamber can switch the flow between a manual resuscitation bag port and a ventilator port enabling the patient to be treated without having to disconnect the respirator support system to thereby connect the resuscitation bag. This prevents the loss of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in the lungs and guards against lung collapse and hemodynamic compromise. The valve includes preloaded seals that will create minimal dragging during valve actuation and work under both positive and negative pressure. The apparatus includes a tethered cover for closure of the resuscitation bag port for sealably covering the port when a bag is not attached or the ventilator connector during patient transport. A sealing arrangement within the resuscitator bag port insures that PEEP in maintained when the resuscitator bag adapter is inserted into the housing.

Inventors:

Neil T. Winthrop - West Palm Beach FL, US

International Classification:

A61M 16/04

US Classification:

12820714

Abstract:

Tracheostomy devices and methods of use are provided herein. An exemplary device may include a substrate having an opening that is disposed centrally on the substrate, the opening being configured to receive a connector of a tracheostomy tube, the substrate comprising a plurality of mounting holes disposed on opposing ends of the substrate, the substrate having a slit that extends below the opening which allows the substrate to be removed from the connector when the connector is connected to an airway hose.

Abstract:

Thoracostomy devices and methods of use are provided herein. In some embodiments, a device may include a seal pad, a petroleum jelly augmented material disposed on the seal pad, a slit formed through both the seal pad and the petroleum jelly augmented layer, the slit being configured to receive and overlap at least a portion of a chest tube extending therethrough, and a securement member extending from an edge of the seal pad, the securement member having a surface that is provided with an adhesive, the securement member being configured to wrap around at least a portion of the chest tube to prevent removal of the chest tube from a patient.

International Classification:

A61F 700

US Classification:

607108

Abstract:

A heating or cooling pad device, particularly for use in surgical operations and medical procedures, which has a human shaped pad for receiving a lying body. The heating or cooling pad can be formed from a chemical reaction pack to generate heat or cold. Alternatively, the pad may consist of an inflatable structure which conducts thermally controlled pressurized fluid from an inlet port through a series of interacting channels to an outlet port. The pad might also have a concave curvature on its surface to thereby cradle a patient when inflated. A stiffener might be adhered to the lower surface of the pad. The pad includes a series of hook and pile attachment strips for selectively attaching modular sections of insulated material which can then be used to wrap around and secure the patient lying on the pad. A single piece section of insulated material might also be used underneath the pad, with the section having flaps which extend around to secure and insulate the patient. Additionally, separate torso and headpiece sections of insulated material can be used to facilitate selective access to various parts of the patient, and yet optimize thermal energy conversation in and around the patient.

International Classification:

F02D 900
G06F 1502
B60T 718

US Classification:

123335

Abstract:

A programmable interface which connects to an engine control device and allows convenient entry of engine performance limitation data such as maximum allowable vehicle speed and engine RPM's. Such entered data is stored and processed so as to interface with existing and/or modified engine controllers to produce the desired vehicle performance limitations. Programmable data entry devices include an alphanumeric keypad, a wireless remote keypad, a keychain unit, and an encoded ignition key. Wireless transfer of data can be achieved through RF or light transmitters/receivers, or active and passive transponders/interrogators. Once processed, the data can be used, for instance, to alter or generate pulse trains which control ignition spark, fuel injection, or carburetion.

International Classification:

A61M 1600

US Classification:

12820714

Abstract:

An endotracheal tube holding device for holding a tube inserted into a patient's mouth and into the trachea. The tube is held in position by the device which has been adhesively secured to the patient's face by a foam strip with an adhesive backing to comfortably, yet securely attach the holding device. The strip is arcuate-shaped and positioned along the upper lip and attached on each end to the patient's cheeks. A support fixture with a lipped support tab extends therefrom and is attached to the foam strip. An adhesive tape strip extends from each side of the support tab and wraps around the positioned ETT. The lip prevents the tape strip from slipping off the support tab thereby providing a secure attachment of the ETT to the support fixture. An accessory port may be included in the support holder to allow for insertion of items above or below the ETT tube without removal of the device from the patient's face.
