CRICOTHYROID CANNULA FOR HIGH-FREQUENCY JET VENTILATOR

在紧急气道管理中， 受插管可用时间的影响，或 气管切开术。 这些程序需要高水平的 培训和能力。 该研究计划提出设计和 开发一种小口径气道接入装置， 医生和辅助医务人员易于使用， 通过环甲膜进入气管， 对病人造成最小的手术创伤 一种安全简单的方法， 插入将沿着培训计划， 医护人员 现有设备的尺寸可能会缩小， 高频喷射呼吸机（HFJV）的出现， 提供安全和有效的咨询支持， 比传统的开口所需的尺寸小得多的开口， 机械通气（CMV）。 HFJV技术最近被 结合到提供独特便携性的流体设计中 对紧急气道管理的益处。 该气道进入装置 在本研究计划中描述，与便携式HFJV一起使用， 旨在显著提高患者的生存率， 需要紧急气道管理。

In Emergency Airway Management, effective resuscitation may be compromised by the time available to perform intubation or tracheostomy procedures. These procedures require a high level of training and competence. This research plan proposes to design and develop a small bore airway access device that will be relatively easy to use by physicians and paramedical personnel to quickly gain access to the trachea through the cricothyroid membrane with minimum procedural trauma to the patient. A safe simple method of insertion will be developed along with a training program for paramedics. Size reduction from existing devices is possible due to the emergence of High Frequency Jet Ventilators (HFJV) which provide safe and effective ventilatory support through a significantly smaller size opening than required for a conventional mechanical ventilator (CMV). HFJV technology has recently been incorporated into a fluidic design which affords unique portability benefits for emergency airway management. The airway access device described in this research plan, used with a portable HFJV, is intended to significantly improve the survival rate of patients requiring emergency airway management.
