Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate improving intubating a patient. An airway management apparatus is provided having an articulating blade comprising a plurality of articulation points and a channel configured to receive an endotracheal tube and facilitate passage of the endotracheal tube through the channel. The airway management apparatus further include a handle attached to the articulating blade and comprising a housing, a motor provided within the housing that is operatively coupled to the articulating blade, and a blade control component. The blade control component is provided on or within the housing, wherein the blade control component is operatively coupled to the motor and controls manipulation of the articulating blade at the plurality of articulation points via the motor.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate employing a universal handle that provides various functionality and communicates with various network(s), device(s), and the like. The universal handle can be a handheld device that is auto-configured to implement rich functionality. Further, the universal handle can support remote diagnostic, prognostic, and control capabilities. Moreover, the universal handle can mate with disparate device(s), network(s), instrument(s), node(s), universal handle(s), and so forth to communicate data there between. Applications of the universal handle can be medically related, industry related, military related, etc. The universal handle can collect data directly and/or by controlling managed external device(s); the collected data can thereafter be analyzed, aggregated, stored, transmitted, outputted, and so forth by the universal handle.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate improving visualization associated with intubation. A dynamically articulating laryngoscope blade can be controlled to configure to normal anatomic variants and pathologic abnormalities to facilitate placing of an endotracheal tube into a patient's trachea. Further, cameras can be integrated into and/or mounted upon the dynamically articulating laryngoscope blade. The cameras can enable stereoscopic visualization of the laryngeal aperture allowing for depth perception. Moreover, the cameras can be moved independently of the blade allowing for optimal viewing of the laryngeal opening.

Abstract: An endovascular perfusion stent graft is provided that can include a graft device, a balloon and a valve. The graft device can be inserted into a vessel. The balloon can be inserted into the graft device and can temporarily restrict passage of fluid or gas received via a perfusion port when the balloon is inflated via a bulb that provides air pressure to the balloon. The perfusion port can be operatively connected to another perfusion port configured to allow the fluid or the gas to pass through another balloon. The valve can be attached to the graft device.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate improving visualization associated with intubation. A dynamical articulating laryngoscope can include a handle assembly and a blade assembly. The blade assembly can further include a main blade assembly, a proximal blade assembly, and a distal blade assembly. A medium control articulation point can couple the main blade assembly and the proximal blade assembly, and a fine control articulation point can couple the distal blade assembly and the proximal blade assembly. Further, the proximal blade assembly can pivot relative to the main blade assembly around the medium control articulation point and/or the distal blade assembly can pivot relative to the proximal blade assembly around the fine control articulation point. Pivoting about the medium control articulation point and/or the fine control articulation point can be effectuated by one or more blade control components.

Abstract: An endovascular perfusion stent graft is provided that can include a graft device, a balloon, and a perfusion port. The graft device can be configured to be inserted into a vessel. The balloon can be configured to temporarily restrict passage of air or fluid through the vessel when the balloon is temporary inserted into the graft device. The perfusion port can be configured to selectively allow passage of the fluid or the gas through the balloon and to the vessel. The perfusion port can be connected to another perfusion port or to a collection device, such as a heart lung machine. The vessel can be one of an ascending aorta, a descending aorta, or an arch of an aorta.
