Abstract: A system that providing an interactive means for one or more team members to learn about and better-react to opponents in upcoming games is provided. The system operates by repeatedly running drill sessions having a dynamic difficulty, where the difficulty is automatically set, based on the success of the player performing the drill session, and other characteristic about the player.

Abstract: A tracheal tube assembly includes an outer cannula configured to be positioned in a patient airway and an inner cannula configured to be disposed inside the outer cannula. The tracheal tube assembly further includes a flange member secured about the outer cannula, and an outer cannula connector coupled to a proximal end of the outer cannula. The inner cannula includes a proximal end region with features that facilitate insertion and/or removal.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods that utilize a tracheal tube adaptor system. The tracheal tube adaptor system includes a tracheal tube adaptor and/or a flaring jig. A proximal end of a tracheal tube may be flared and the tracheal tube adaptor may be coupled to the proximal end of the tracheal tube. The tracheal tube adaptor may be configured to easily attach and detach an end connector. The end connector may be used to couple a variety of medical devices such as a ventilator, a manual respirator, a nebulizer, a vaporizer, suctioning equipment, and so forth, to the tracheal tube. The use of the tracheal tube adaptor system and methods enables the rapid detachment and attachment of various end connectors, thus allowing the coupling of the tracheal tube to a variety of medical devices.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, a tracheal tube ventilating device includes a sealing portion near a distal end of the tube. The sealing portion has an electroactive polymer configured to undergo a clinically effective change in volume, thickness, or both upon application of an electrical potential. Such a change in volume, thickness, or both enables sealing of the device against an inner surface of a trachea while permitting the free passage of ventilating gas through the tube. In addition, at least one electrical conductor is coupled to the electroactive polymer and is configured to apply the electrical potential.

Abstract: A tracheal tube assembly includes a cannula configured to be positioned in a patient airway, the assembly further comprising a reinforcing member and/or extension member. The tracheal tube assembly further includes a flange member secured about the cannula. The tracheal tube assembly additionally includes a connector coupled to a proximal end of the cannula, wherein the cannula and the connector form a contiguous passageway for exchanging fluid with the patient airway in operation.

Abstract: A tracheal dilator system and method of manufacture are provided, suitable for dilating a passageway into a patient airway. In one embodiment, a tracheal tube is provided. The tracheal tube includes a dilator retrieval tip disposed on a distal end of a tracheal tube cannula. The dilator retrieval tip is configured to retrieve a tracheal dilator configured to enter through the distal end of the tracheal tube and exit through a proximal end of the tracheal tube.

Abstract: A reverse dilator system and method are provided, suitable for dilating a passageway into a patient airway. In one embodiment, a tracheal intubation system is provided. The tracheal intubation system includes a reverse dilator. The reverse dilator includes a shaft and a resizable portion disposed on a distal portion of the shaft. The reverse dilator is configured to dilate a tracheal passageway leading into an airway from inside the airway.
