Abstract: The present invention provides medical devices comprising at least one visualization device sealed to, attached to or otherwise combined with at least one of the following second devices: an oral airway, ventilating mask, urinary catheter, trocar, a tool tube, and a medical glove. The present invention also provides methods for rapid and accurate placement of a medical device in a patient and continuous real time monitoring, including a remote monitoring, of the patient after the placement.

Abstract: Oral airway devices comprising a tubal body formed by a wall which has a length between a distal end and a proximal end, the tubal body being curved into an arch, the wall having two hollow channels which are passages in the tubal body, a first channel and a second channel, wherein the two channels are laterally aligned, wherein the first channel is the passage located peripherally in the tubal body and wherein the second channel is the passage located centrally or substantially centrally in the tubal body and is compatible with a camera insertable and removable from the second channel; and wherein the tubal body does not comprise an endotracheal tube (ETT) lumen.

Abstract: In one aspect, this disclosure relates to a laryngoscope having a channel for delivering an endotracheal tube to the trachea and its placement under continuous visualization by a camera and with controlled suction. The laryngoscope may further comprise one or more additional channels, including a suction and camera channel. In another aspect, this disclosure relates to medical systems comprising one of laryngoscopes according to this disclosure and one or more of adapters, tools and/or cameras.

Abstract: The present invention provides medical devices comprising at least one visualization device sealed to, attached to or otherwise combined with at least one of the following second devices: an oral airway, ventilating mask, urinary catheter, trocar, a tool tube, and a medical glove. The present invention also provides methods for rapid and accurate placement of a medical device in a patient and continuous real time monitoring, including a remote monitoring, of the patient after the placement.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved medical devices, including oral airway devices, equipped with a visualization device for intubation, extubation, ventilation, drug delivery, feeding and continuous remote monitoring of a patient. The present invention also provides methods for rapid and accurate placement of a medical device in a patient and continuous real time monitoring, including a remote monitoring, of the patient after the placement.

Abstract: The present invention provides medical devices comprising a camera combined with a second device selected from an endotracheal tube, oral airway, supraglottic airway, tracheostomy tube, suction catheter, tubeless intubating device, tool tube and/or stylet. The present invention also provides methods for rapid and accurate placement of a medical device in a patient with a guidance of a bougie and continuous real-time monitoring, including a remote monitoring, of the patient after the placement.

Abstract: Oral airway devices having a tubal body curved anteriorly and comprising a central lumen and one or more peripheral hollow passages for hosting a camera and/or one or more tools including a gastric suction tube, including oral airway devices in which the tubal body ends with a tongue and the wall of the tubal body encircles a central lumen. Oral airway devices also include those which comprise three channels, two of which are peripheral channels located in the flanks of the wall of the tubal body, the oral airway devices being compatible with a laryngoscope. Methods for ventilating, intubating and extubating a patient with the medical devices.

Abstract: An airway device is provided for opening a patient's airway. In an embodiment, the airway device provides dual tubes which allow the patient to breathe on his/her own, to be ventilated, or to be intubated. The airway device includes a camera which provides constant visualization of the patient's tissues during insertion of the airway device and during the entire medical procedure. In some embodiments, the airway device includes an endotracheal tube. A transmission lumen monitors heart and breath sounds. Information from the camera and the transmission lumen is relayed to a microprocessor to allow for monitoring which may be remote.

Abstract: A method of opening an airway of a patient by a medical professional in a medical procedure using an airway device is provided. The airway device includes a ventilating tube and an intubating tube, and a camera lumen attached to one of the tubes. A camera is inserted into the camera lumen, and the camera provides visual information to the medical professional about the tissues of the patient during the medical procedure. The airway device is inserted into the throat of the patient and positioned proximally of the vocal folds under visual monitoring by use of the camera. The camera provides constant visualization of the patient's tissues during insertion of the airway device and during the entire medical procedure.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved medical devices equipped with a visualization device for intubation, ventilation, drug delivery, feeding and continuous remote monitoring of a patient. The present invention also provides methods for rapid and accurate placement of a medical device in a patient and continuous real time monitoring, including a remote monitoring, of the patient after the placement.

Abstract: A medical device is provided for insertion into a cavity of a patient to visual the internal membranes of the patient. The medical device can be an endotracheal tube, a suction tube, a bronchoscope, a tube changer, an esophageal tube, an intubating tube, an esophageal tube in combination with a separate intubating tube, a device for manipulating the position of the epiglottis of the patient, a stylet, or a tube insertable into the vagina of the patient. The medical device has a camera lumen having a sealed window at one end thereof attached thereto, and a separate camera which is insertable into the camera lumen and is removable from the camera lumen. The camera is used to monitor the internal membranes of the patient during the medical procedure.
