CRICOTHYROID CANNULA FOR HIGH-FREQUENCY JET VENTILATOR

在紧急呼吸道管理中，有效的复苏可能是 因可用于插管的时间或 气管切开手术。这些程序需要很高水平的 培训和能力。本研究计划建议设计和实施 开发一种小口径的呼吸道访问装置，它将相对 易于医生和辅助医疗人员使用，以快速获得 通过环甲膜进入气管 对病人造成最小的程序性创伤。一种安全、简便的治疗方法 插入将与以下培训计划一起开发 医护人员。现有设备的尺寸缩减是可能的，因为 对高频喷射呼吸机(HFJV)的出现 通过以下方式提供安全有效的通风支持 开口尺寸明显小于传统的 机械呼吸机(CMV)。HFJV技术最近被 集成到流体设计中，提供独特的便携性 对紧急呼吸道管理的好处。该呼吸道接入装置 这项研究计划中描述的与便携式HFJV一起使用的是 旨在显著提高患者的存活率 需要紧急呼吸道管理。

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.
