  • Patent number: 6626169
    Abstract: An anatomically-shaped airway ventilation and intubating device is disclosed, which may comprise a flexible elongated conduit adapted to fit in a patient's oropharynx. The conduit may be partially divided into an intubation lumen and a ventilation lumen, having apertures at the proximal end of the conduit. The distl end of the conduit may be substantially opposite the esophagus opening of the patient when the device is inserted into the oropharynx. The ventilation and intubation lumens may be in fluid communication with an aperture located between the proximate end and the distal end of the conduit, which aperture may be substantially opposite the laryngeal opening of the patient when the device is inserted into the oropharynx.

  • Publication number: 20020170556
    Abstract: An anatomically-shaped airway ventilation and intubating device comprises a flexible elongated body adapted to fit in a patient's oropharynx. Said conduit is partially divided by a septum into a ventilation lumen and an intubation lumen, said lumens being in fluid communication to a first opening at a distal end opposite the laryngeal opening of the patient. The lumens are geometrically arranged to follow the desired shape of the device. A second opening is provided at said proximate end in fluid communication with the ventilation lumen. The intubation lumen is adapted to accommodate an endotracheal tube that can be inserted while enabling breathing of patient through the ventilator lumen. After the endotracheal tube is inserted the first opening may be sealed while patient's breathing is directed through said endotracheal tube.
