  • Publication number: 20090209826
    Abstract: A device, a system, and a method for intubation are disclosed. The intubation device includes a handle disposed at a proximal end of the intubation device, a guiding tip having a camera disposed at a distal end of the intubation device, an inter-trachea tube connecting the handle and the guiding tip. The camera is configured to guide insertion of an intra-trachea tube into a patient, wherein the guiding tip is configured to be inserted inside the intra-trachea tube while the handle remains outside the intra-trachea tube.

  • Publication number: 20080029100
    Abstract: Airway apparatus and methods of use are provided, in which the airway device includes two balloons, an imaging apparatus, and a visualization device. The device is configured for placement in a patient's esophagus and may be introduced without a laryngoscope using the imaging device, thereby allowing rapid intubation and ventilation.

  • Publication number: 20070215162
    Abstract: An airway device and method of use are provided, in which the airway device includes a dual lumen airway suitable for use as an endobronchial tube and having a sensor and a sensor monitoring device. In an embodiment of the device, the airway device includes imaging apparatus, optionally textured balloons, and image display device for monitoring the position of the device, thereby facilitating placement of the device and monitoring ability to determine a change in positioning.

  • Publication number: 20070175482
    Abstract: Apparatus for introducing an airway tube within a patient's trachea, and methods of use, are provided, in which the an elongated rigid bougie includes a light source and imaging system configured to be introduced into a patient's trachea using video images received from the imaging system. Once a distal end of the bougie is visually confirmed to be placed with the patient's trachea, an airway tube is advanced over the bougie. The apparatus also may include two separable components, thereby facilitating video-guided placement of one component in pediatric applications under guidance of video images provided by the second component.

  • Publication number: 20070162095
    Abstract: Visualization stylets and methods of use are provided, in which the visualization stylets include modular components that allow interchangeability of imaging devices and lenses, and the use of forward-facing or lateral-facing lens orientations. Optionally, the lens may be focused remotely. A reduced insertion profile is provided by configuring the circuitry of the imaging device so that it is disposed substantially perpendicular to a plane of a pixel array of the imaging device.

  • Publication number: 20060180155
    Abstract: A laryngeal mask airway device is provided that incorporates a video sensor, such as a CCD, CMOS or NMOS imaging chip, arranged to provide an image of the laryngeal inlet or other airway structures. The video sensor is electrically coupled to a reusable processing unit that receives the signals generated by the video sensor and generates a digital image of the interior of the patient's airway, thereby enabling the clinician to have immediate optical confirmation of the position of the mask aperture relative to the laryngeal inlet from the moment of insertion of the device.
