Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to endotracheal tubes, and more particularly, to an endotracheal tube having a dedicated lumen and suction trigger for the aspiration of secretions pooled in the trachea above the cuff.
  • the invention further comprises a lavage port for intermittently irrigating the trachea above the cuff prior to aspiration of pooled secretions and multiple suction eyelets strategically placed.
  • a well known problem with endotracheal tubes is the buildup of excessive secretions above the cuff of the tube in the trachea.
  • the conventional endotracheal tube provides a lumen that extends between a proximal end and a distal end for inflating the cuff.
  • the inflatable cuff is joined to the tube above the distal end to prevent the passage of fluids and gases to and from the lungs when inflated and to create enough pressure to facilitate proper ventilation through the while preventing the back flow of gases.
  • the cuff is inflated so that it engages the trachea wall thereby providing a proper seal.
  • oral secretions tend to pool or build up above the cuff.
  • Endotracheal intubation is used for mechanically ventilating a patient's lungs when the patient cannot breathe normally and/or for introducing anesthetic gases into the lungs.
  • intubated pulmonary patient is almost always placed at risk by pooled secretions between the inflated cuff and oral pharyngeal area.
  • the accumulations and stagnation of the oral secretions broods infectious organisms resulting in serious health concerns.
  • the oral secretions eventually leak into the patient ' s lungs or find their way into the lungs when the endotracheal cuff is deflated.
  • intubated patients are always at risk of developing bronchitis, pneumonia and other infections in the lungs and trachea because of pooled secretions entering the trachea and lungs during intubation and extubation of the tube. If these secretions could be quietly and conveniently aspirated the foregoing health concerns could be eliminated or reduced.
  • Endotracheal tubes are not new in the art and several have provided structure for draining fluid from the lungs and/or insufflating the lungs with oxygen or other gases.
  • Other known devices have even addressed the problem of removing pooled secretions from the upper tracheal area, but have failed to solve the problem as contemplated by the instant invention. That is, current devices are either unreliable, not practical for use and/or not conveniently employed for the quick removal of secretions. Accordingly, even though background devices exist in this field, they do not contemplate and/or adequately address the above-noted problems with a structurally and functionally convenient device .
  • Known tracheal devices are not capable of controlling a constant supply of air pressure, irrigating the trachea to dilute the secretions, and/or providing strategically placed suction eyelets for avoiding complete occlusion of the venting passage.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,143,062 issued to Peckham, discloses an endotracheal tube comprising a double lumen and suction eye to which air is circulated to create an indirect suction for evacuating contaminated secretions that pool within the trachea above an inflated cuff.
  • the double lumen provides a supply port and return port for circulating air. This design, however, does not provide adequate suction necessary for aspirating secretions.
  • the Peckham device is not practical for convenient hospital use and appears to be unsuitably thick.
  • the Peckham device does not disclose multiple evacuation vents, a suction trigger, and a lavage port for irrigating the tracheal area with saline.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,840,173, issued to Porter, III discloses an endotracheal tube having an exterior tube that is merged into a ventilation tube as an appendage and continues along the exterior of the ventilation tube. Since the Porter suction tube is exterior to the ventilation tube and provides an eyelet at its most distal end, the Porter patent requires that the cuff have a rigid section proximal to the suction eye to prevent the cuff from being sucked up against said opening. By contrast, the instant invention provides suction eyelets that are positioned so that the cuff is not drawn up against the eyelets during aspiration. The Porter invention is also distinct from the instant invention as it comprises extra thickness by virtue of the exterior disposed ventilation tube. Porter also fails to disclose a suction trigger, cannot be manufactured by known extrusion techniques and does not provide a lavage port bifurcated from the suction port for irrigating and simultaneously removing fluids above the cuff.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,762,125 issued to Lehman, et al, discloses a balloon tip suction catheter that is used by inserting it into an endotracheal tube to remove secretions. As disclosed, Lehman requires two devices for aspirating secretions from the trachea area. In addition, Lehman fails to disclose a distal Murphy eye, multiple suction eyelets defined longitudinally above the cuff, a suction trigger and a lavage port for irrigating the trachea area prior to aspiration of the pooled secretions.
  • U.S. Patent Nos . 4,637,389 and 4,607,635, issued to Heyden disclose a tracheal tube device having an expandable channel for the insertion of an external suction catheter.
  • the Heyden devices are designed to adjust to the depth of a suction catheter for removing secretions between the tube and the wall of the intubated pathway by providing a plurality of vents along the length of the tube.
  • the plurality of vents along the tube actually limits the suction force needed for aspirating pooled secretions.
  • Heyden requires an additional device for aspirating secretions.
  • Heyden fails to disclose a distal Murphy eye, a suction trigger and a lavage port.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,584,998 issued to McGrail discloses a complex trachea tube having up to four lumens, none of which remove pooled secretions in the trachea area above the cuff. Based on this disclosure, one lumen provides material irrigation and pressure monitoring and a second lumen provides insulfation of oxygen into the lungs . These two lumens communicate through a common distal opening thus providing a supply and return line similar to Peckham. McGrail does not disclose multiple suction eyelets, a suction trigger, a distal Murphy eyelet or a lavage port .
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,305,392 issued to Chester, discloses an endotracheal tube having a suction chamber in the shape of a protruding bulge and having four ports. The suction chamber communicates with a lumen extending from the bulge toward the proximal end of the tube. Chester does not disclose a plurality of suction eyelets, a suction trigger, or a lavage port.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,156,428, issued to Henkin discloses a tracheal tube having an expandable cuff system. The Henkin device primarily addresses an expandable cuff system as controlled by a liquid, valve and reservoir system. Henkin is thus non-analogous. In addition, Henkin fails to disclose a distal Murphy eye, a plurality of suction eyelets, a suction trigger and a lavage port.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,119,101 issued to Igich, discloses a multiple lumen and a tracheal tube and cuff system having additional lumens for jointly and severally removing the fluid and increasing medicines into the lungs.
  • the Igich device is designed for irrigating and aspirating the lungs. It does not address the problems associated with the moving or aspirating pooled secretions around the trachea area. Thus, Igich fails to disclose a distal Murphy eye, a plurality of suction eyelets, a suction trigger and a lavage port in communication with the suction eyelets.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un tube endotrachéal à passages multiples comportant un passage principal (12), un manchon pneumatique (28) formé concentriquement autour du passage principal (12) à proximité de son extrémité distale (13), un passage (24) de gonflage du manchon en communication fluidique avec le manchon (28), un passage (20) destiné à l'aspiration comportant une pluralité d'oeillets d'aspiration empilées (22) formées à proximité de l'extrémité du passage (20) d'aspiration directement au-dessus du manchon (28), et un déclencheur (30) d'aspiration en communication fluidique avec le passage (20) d'aspiration permettant d'aspirer les sécrétions accumulées dans la trachée, au dessus du manchon (28). Les passages (20, 28) d'aspiration et de gonflage du manchon comprennent des voies qui s'étendent longitudinalement à travers la paroi du passage principal (12) et des extensions du tube qui s'étendent à l'extérieur du passage principal. Un port de lavage (16) est relié par communication fluidique au passage (20) d'aspiration au dessus du manchon (28), afin d'irriguer la trachée de manière sélective et intermittente avant d'aspirer les sécrétions accumulées. Les oeillets (22) d'aspiration multiples sont disposés de manière stratégique pour éviter que le manchon (28) ne remonte sur eux pendant l'aspiration, et pour fournir un accès au passage (20) d'aspiration lorsque un ou plusieurs oeillets (22) d'aspiration sont bloqués.
