Abstract: Disclosed is a pediatric emergency kit for esophageal tamponade procedures in pediatric patients and methods of use thereof. The pediatric emergency kit includes at least one esophageal balloon catheter for the tamponade of blood flow, and an inflation hand pump equipped with a pressure gauge for inflating a balloon on the balloon catheter. The pediatric emergency kit can be configured to include multiple compartments, optionally, with a first container/compartment containing at least the esophageal balloon catheter and a second container/compartment containing at least the inflation handpump, and optionally a second esophageal balloon catheter. Optionally, both the first and second containers/compartments contain a syringe, a 3-way luer lock stopcock, and/or a guidewire. Also provided are instructions and/or methods of using the kit for correct placement and inflation of the esophageal balloon to effectively manage arterio-esophageal fistulas.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for integrating individual III-V MMICs into a micromachined waveguide package is disclosed. MMICs are screened prior to integration, allowing only known-good die to be integrated, leading to increased yield. The method and apparatus are used to implement a micro-integrated Focal Plane Array (mFPA) technology used for sub millimeter wave (SMMW) cameras, although many other applications are possible. MMICs of different technologies may be integrated into the same micromachined package thus achieving the same level of technology integration as in multi-wafer WLP integration.
