  • Automated Method of Pooling Elimination with a Biological Fluid Collection System
    Publication number: 20130218106
    Abstract: A drainage and/or collection system for biological fluids includes at least one conduit for transporting a biological fluid from a catheter to a collector device and a gas pressure source configured to feed a gas into the at least one conduit between the catheter and the collection device. The gas causes the biological fluid arranged in the at least one conduit to drain into the collection device. A method includes inserting a catheter, draining a fluid into a collector device via a conduit, and introducing gas into the conduit so as to force fluid remaining in the conduit into the collection device.

    Abstract: A securement system secures an endotracheal tube or other medical article in position upon a patient and arrests movement of the endotracheal tube. The securement system includes a retainer having a posterior facing surface, and a channel to secure the endotracheal tube. The securement system can include a member configured for placement in the patient's oral cavity and in fluid communication with an anterior side of the retainer, and a mouth securement member configured to substantially prevent movement of the retainer. Advantageously, the securement system can maintain an endotracheal tube in position upon a patient and allow a liquid to be infused into the patient's oral cavity.
