Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ventilatory tube for procedures such as percutaneous tracheotomy.
- Tracheotomy is a procedure that consists in opening an air pathway in the trachea as an alternative to the natural air pathway. This procedure is routinely carried out on patients who require endotracheal intubation for periods, in general, longer than one week (e.g. in a prolonged coma), or at the start of surgical procedures to the head and to the neck which make intubation impossible.
- ventilatory tubes can cause lesions or inflammation of those parts of the larynx or of the pharynx or of the trachea with which they come into contact.
- tracheal tube is inserted about half-way between the larynx and the carina bifurcation.
- the tracheal tube allocated in its correct position obstructs the execution of the percutaneous tracheotomy, which conversely needs free access to the trachea.
- the anesthetized patient must compulsorily be ventilated mechanically and, in order to free the trachea, different procedures are adopted:
- This method which is commonly adopted, has a high risk of extubation of the patient owing to excessive retraction of the tube; moreover, such retraction must be done until the tracheal cuff is positioned so as to straddle the vocal cords (i.e. superimposed on the glottis C), effectively making it very precarious to hold the tracheal tube in position and maintain the proper pneumatic seal necessary for correct ventilation.
- a percutaneous tracheotomy for reasons of procedural safety, is carried out viewed through a fiberscope (a fiberscope is a tube of diameter usually comprised between 6 mm and 10 mm and of variable length from 1 m up to over 20 m, constituted by a bundle of optical fibers. Thanks to the properties of fiber optics, the images are transmitted from one end to the other of the bundle), not least in order to control the risk of perforation of the rear tracheal wall owing to an incorrect maneuver.
- a fiberscope is a tube of diameter usually comprised between 6 mm and 10 mm and of variable length from 1 m up to over 20 m, constituted by a bundle of optical fibers. Thanks to the properties of fiber optics, the images are transmitted from one end to the other of the bundle), not least in order to control the risk of perforation of the rear tracheal wall owing to an incorrect maneuver.
- Fiberscopes access the trachea through the internal lumen of the entrotracheal tube.
- the reduction of the internal tracheal lumen obstructs the correct ventilation of the patient and therefore influences the clinical parameters of the patient.
- a laryngeal mask does not ensure protection of the air pathways from the inhalation of gastric juices or saliva and it does not make it possible to ventilate the patient at high pressures in the event of acute respiratory insufficiency.
- the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which allow the patient to ventilate correctly in conditions of the utmost safety.
- an object of the invention is to provide a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which protects the air pathways from inhalation (for example of saliva, blood etc.).
- Another object of the invention is to provide a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which can be correctly and easily arranged so as to leave free the tracheal space where the tracheotomy is to be performed.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which is easy to hold in the correct arrangement without risks of accidental extubation.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which can allow easy access of the fiberscope or other means of control and verification of the correct positioning and/or of the procedure being carried out.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which protects the rear tracheal wall.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which can be used to intubate a patient instead of a conventional entrotracheal tube, thus avoiding the maneuver of extubation and re-intubation, therefore resolving the limitations listed previously.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which does not obstruct the insertion of the tracheostomy cannula into the trachea of the patient.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which cannot be damaged by the surgical instruments used to make and widen the stoma into which the tracheostomy cannula will be inserted.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which is low cost, easily and practically implemented, and safe in use.
- a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy which comprises a tubular body adapted to assume the anatomical curvature of the upper respiratory pathways and provided, at a substantially distal portion, with an inflatable cuff for the hermetic occlusion of the respiratory pathways, characterized in that it comprises a second cuff, arranged upstream of said first cuff and proximate thereto, the distance in an axial direction with respect to said tubular body between said first cuff and said second cuff being substantially similar to the thickness of the glottis, in the configuration for use the glottis being interposed and clamped between said first cuff and said second cuff, with consequent coupling thereto of said tubular body.

- Figure 2 is a perspective view from above of a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy according to the invention
- Figure 3 is a view from above of a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy according to the invention
- Figure 4 is a perspective side view of a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy according to the invention
- FIG. 5 is a perspective side view of a particular embodiment of a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy according to the invention, provided with a shield appendage;
- Figure 6 is a perspective side view of a particular embodiment of a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy according to the invention, provided with a shield appendage that is also adapted for ventilation.
- the reference numeral 1 generally designates a ventilatory tube for procedures such as tracheotomy.
- the ventilatory tube 1 comprises a tubular body 2 adapted to assume the anatomical curvature of the upper respiratory pathways A of a patient B.
- tubular body 2 can have a radius of curvature comprised between 90 mm and 160 mm, although the embodiments that conform closest to the scopes of application are those defined by intermediate radii of curvature with respect to such interval/range (values comprised between 105 mm and 135 mm are therefore preferred).
- a specific embodiment of a tubular body 2 according to the invention has a radius of curvature of 120 mm.
- tubular body 2 is straight (in the inactive configuration), but can easily be subjected to bending (for example, elastic): therefore a material must be chosen that is adapted to be easily bent and which therefore has scant mechanical rigidity (therefore ease of deformability) in order to allow adaptation to the anatomical curvature of the upper respiratory pathways A of the patient B.
- the tubular body 2 is provided, at a substantially distal portion (subglottis portion), with an inflatable first cuff 3 for the hermetic occlusion of the respiratory/air pathways A (it should be noted that in the present description the terms respiratory pathways A and air pathways A will be used interchangeably to define the area affected by the ventilatory tube 1, which is defined by the mouth, pharynx, larynx and trachea of the patient B).
- the inflation of the first cuff 3 causes its expansion with total hermetic occlusion of the section of trachea in which it is arranged, ensuring that the flow of air can occur only through the tubular body 2.
- the ventilatory tube 1 further comprises a second cuff 4, arranged in the supra-glottic area upstream of the first cuff 3 and proximate thereto.
- the second cuff 4 can also be inflatable or it can be made of a material with high elastic deformability (for example an expanded foam or the like).
- the first cuff 3 can be correctly defined as the distal sub-glottis cuff, while the second cuff 4 can be correctly defined as the proximal supra-glottis cuff.
- the distance, in the axial direction with respect to the tubular body 2, between the first cuff 3 and the second cuff 4 must be substantially similar to the thickness of the glottis C: in the configuration for use, the glottis C will be interposed and clamped between the first cuff 3 and the second cuff 4, with consequent coupling to the glottis C of the tubular body 2 which will therefore be unable to translate (with consequent extraction or further insertion). Thus the glottis C is clamped.
- the glottis C is the intermediate segment of the larynx at the vocal cords.
- the glottis is located at the height of the larynx, which is the organ for phonation. It is constituted for the most part by a cartilage skeleton divided into three sections: the cricoid, the arytenoid and the thyroid.
- the tubular body 2 comprises at least one first internal longitudinal lumen 5 in which the proximal end 6 is suitable for coupling to a connector 7 of a ventilation duct and the distal end 8 protrudes with respect to the first cuff 3.
- the tubular body 2 in conformance with an embodiment of undoubted applicative interest, comprises at least one second internal longitudinal lumen 9, in which the proximal end 10 and the distal end 11 are open in order to allow the insertion in such second lumen 9, through the opening of the proximal end 10, of a substantially wire-like instrument. Once insertion has occurred the head of such substantially wire-like instrument will be substantially facing the opening of the second (distal) end 11 of the second lumen 9.
- the wire-like instrument can be selected from a plurality of instruments designed to carry out different functions: it should be noted that an optical instrument will be used which makes it possible to analyze and monitor all the steps of the subsequent tracheotomy that has to be carried out on the patient. The possibility is not ruled out that the optical instrument can comprise specific light sources in order to allow a clearer and fuller view for the medical personnel.
- the first cuff 3 (which, as mentioned previously, can also be defined as the distal sub-glottis cuff, i.e. distal with respect to the position it assumes in the configuration for use) can have an outside diameter, in the fully inflated configuration, comprised between 20 mm and 32 mm.
- the indicated interval of diameters is rather wide, as a function of the variability of the anatomical size parameters of the patients B who might need the ventilation tube 1 : it should be noted that, preferably, the diameter of the first cuff 3 will be selected from the sub-range comprised between 27 mm and 29 mm (a diameter of 28 mm identifying the intermediate condition of greatest applicative interest).
- the second cuff 4 (which, as mentioned previously, can also be defined as the proximal supra-glottis cuff, i.e. proximal with respect to the position that it assumes in the configuration for use) will have an outside diameter, in the fully inflated configuration (or fully expanded configuration if it is made of a soft and elastically deformable material, with high compressibility), comprised between 15 mm and 30 mm.
- the indicated interval of diameters is rather wide, as a function of the variability of the anatomical size parameters of the patients who might need the ventilation tube 1 : it should be noted that, preferably, the diameter of the second cuff 4 will be selected from the sub-range comprised between 21 mm and 23 mm (a diameter of 22 mm identifying the intermediate condition of greatest applicative interest).
- the second cuff 4 will usually have a smaller diameter than that of the first cuff 3 since it is not intended to occlude the trachea but is only there to constitute an abutment shoulder, a locator, that prevents the medical operators from inserting the tubular body 2 beyond a condition of ideal alignment of the ventilatory tube 1 (the condition for ideal alignment corresponds to the interposition of the glottis C between the first cuff 3 and the second cuff 4).
- the medical personnel will therefore perceive an arrest of the insertion of the ventilation tube 1 and will desist from further pushing since the second cuff 4 will have already assumed its ideal arrangement, resting on the upper wall of the glottis C.
- the distance between the first cuff 3 and the second cuff 4 is comprised between 4 mm and 20 mm.
- the indicated interval of distances is rather wide, as a function of the variability of the anatomical size parameters of the patients who might need the ventilation tube 1 : it should be noted that, preferably, the distance between the first cuff 3 and the second cuff 4 will be selected from the subrange comprised between 8 mm and 12 mm (a distance of 10 mm identifying the intermediate condition of greatest applicative interest).
- the thickness of the first cuff 3 (i.e. its space occupation in the axial direction with respect to the axis of the tubular body 2) is comprised between 12 mm and 35 mm.
- the indicated interval of thicknesses is rather wide, as a function of the variability of the anatomical size parameters of the patients who might need the ventilation tube 1 : it should be noted that, preferably, the thickness of the first cuff 3 will be selected from the sub-range comprised between 15 mm and 21 mm (a thickness of 18 mm identifying the intermediate condition of greatest applicative interest), in order to avoid invading the anatomical area targeted for the subsequent tracheotomy, while still ensuring the necessary pneumatic seal.
- the thickness of the second cuff 4 (i.e. its space occupation in the axial direction with respect to the axis of the tubular body 2) must also be conveniently selected from a respective range comprised between 5 mm and 35 mm.
- the indicated interval of thicknesses is rather wide, as a function of the variability of the anatomical size parameters of the patients who might need the ventilation tube 1 : it should be noted that, preferably, the thickness of the second cuff 4 will be selected from the sub-range comprised between 7 mm and 13 mm (a thickness of 10 mm identifying the intermediate condition of greatest applicative interest).
- the walls of the tubular body 2 comprise at least one first channel 12 which leads to the first cuff 3 and at least one second channel 13 which leads to the second cuff 4: the first channel 12 and the second channel 13 comprising, at their proximal portions, respective connectors (respectively 14 and 15) for connection to inflation apparatuses.
- the second cuff 4 is made of deformable material (and therefore easily deformable following the compression generated in the intubation step), then only the first cuff 3 (the only one that is inflatable, therefore) will have a respective channel 12 for inflation which is associated with a respective connector 14.
- the distal front 16 of the tubular body 2 has an oblique end face (i.e. shaped substantially like the mouthpiece of a recorder), in order to prevent trauma in the step of insertion of the ventilatory tube 1 (intubation) and in order to minimize encumbrances with respect to conventional tubes.
- the maximum overall protrusion of the distal front 16 with respect to the first cuff 3 will be preferably comprised between 1 mm and 15 mm.
- the indicated interval of protrusions is rather wide, as a function of the variability of the anatomical size parameters of the patients who might need the ventilation tube 1 : it should be noted that, preferably, the protrusion of the distal front 16 from the first cuff 3 will be selected from the sub-range comprised between 8 mm and 12 mm (a protrusion of 10 mm identifying the intermediate condition of greatest applicative interest).
- the protrusion of the distal front 16 from the first cuff 3 is defined as the distance between its end tip and the distal face of the first cuff 3.
- a minimal protrusion implies that the distal front 16 cannot interfere with the subsequent percutaneous tracheotomy.
- distal front 16 of the tubular body 2 can conveniently accommodate a light source powered by means of an electrical cable associated with the side walls of the tubular body 2.
- the electric cable in turn, can be connected, at its proximal portion, to an electric power supply unit (for example the mains electricity supply or an accumulator battery).
- an electric power supply unit for example the mains electricity supply or an accumulator battery.
- Such light source can preferably be constituted by an LED (which, since it does not produce heat, cannot cause any harm to the patient B): the purpose of the light source is that it can be used as a transilluminator that allows the medical operators to view (transparently with respect to the tissues of the patient B) the blood vessels (in order to execute the tracheotomy in conditions of the utmost safety, and also to have confirmation of the correct positioning).
- LED light source is preferable in that such devices do not generate heat and they can produce light beams of particular intensity which can be variously oriented and/or concentrated.
- the second lumen 9 which is intended to accommodate instruments such as video cameras or other image acquisition devices, could also comprise respective (and optionally further) light sources.
- the distal front 16 of the tubular body 2 can preferably comprise a protruding flattened lower portion 17.
- the maximum overall protrusion of the flattened lower portion 17 with respect to the first cuff 3 is comprised between 5 mm and 100 mm.
- the flattened portion 17 constitutes a protective shield for the inner surface of the trachea, in order to avoid accidental contact with the instruments used during tracheotomy.
- the flattened portion 17 is shaped substantially like a spoon (with shape and dimensions complementary to those of the interior of the trachea) so as to be arranged parallel to the inner surface of the trachea, proximate thereto, thus defining a form of protective shield.
- the flattened portion 17 can also be hollow and the corresponding internal cavity will be connected to the distal end 8 of the first internal longitudinal lumen 5.
- the flattened portion 17, in addition to acting as a protective screen or shield, will also constitute the end part of the at least one first internal longitudinal lumen 5 and therefore it will be designed for the ventilation of the patient B.
- the flattened portion 17 can be made of a deformable material, such as for example an elastomer, a silicone or the like.
- the appendage 17 will therefore usually be bent inside the internal lumen 5 in order to facilitate the intubation operations.
- the surgeon proceeds with the extraction (eversion) of the appendage using a wire-like instrument (for example a mandrel) which, inserted into the lumen 5, will push the appendage 17 outside.
- a wire-like instrument for example a mandrel
- the appendage 17 can thus carry out the intended function of protecting the wall of the trachea.
- the method of using the ventilation tube 1 according to the invention is as follows.
- the medical operator then proceeds to partially insert the ventilation tube 1 with the cuffs 3 and 4 (in the configuration in which they are both deflated or in the configuration in which the cuff 3 alone is deflated since the cuff 4 is made of easily deformable material), until the first cuff 3 has traveled past the tongue.
- the medical operator proceeds to inflate the second cuff 4 or, if it is made of easily deformable material, will see the expansion thereof until it at least partially occludes the trachea upstream of the glottis C.
- the medical operator has to inflate the first cuff 3, clamping the glottis C of the patient B between it and the second cuff 4.
- an optical sensor or a laryngoscope provided with image acquisition means (still cameras, video cameras, optical sensors and the like).
- the ventilatory tube 1 allows the patient B to ventilate correctly in conditions of the utmost safety.
- the ventilatory tube 1 protects the air pathways from inhalations (for example of saliva, blood etc.).
- the ventilatory tube 1 can be correctly and easily positioned so as to leave free the tracheal space where the tracheotomy is to be performed.
- the ventilatory tube 1 is easy to hold in the correct arrangement without risks of accidental extubation.
- the ventilatory tube 1 can allow easy access of a fiberscope or other means of control and verification of the correct positioning and/or of the procedure being carried out.
- the ventilatory tube 1 protects the rear tracheal wall.
- the ventilatory tube 1 can be used to intubate a patient instead of a conventional entrotracheal tube, thus avoiding the maneuver of extubation and re-intubation, therefore resolving the limitations listed previously.
- the ventilatory tube 1 does not obstruct the insertion of the tracheostomy cannula into the trachea of the patient.
- the present invention solves the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a ventilatory tube 1 for procedures such as tracheotomy which does not obstruct the insertion of the tracheostomy cannula into the trachea of the patient B.
- the ventilatory tube 1 cannot be damaged by the surgical instruments used to make and widen the stoma into which the tracheostomy cannula will be inserted.
- the tracheotomy will be carried out downstream of the distal front 16 of the tubular body 2 and therefore it is not possible for the instruments used in such operation to damage the ventilation tube 1 proper (for example by perforating or cutting the cuff as can happen with the ventilation tubes of the conventional type).
- the ventilatory tube 1 is particularly safe and cannot be subjected to involuntary extubation.
- the ventilatory tube 1 according to the invention can be easily produced at low cost, ensuring that it will certainly find application on the market.
- the second lumen 9 can stably accommodate an optical instrument, of the type of a sensor, a still camera, a video camera, a wirelike element made of optical fiber for transferring images to an external unit and the like.
- the ventilatory tube 1 could constitute a complete, disposable aid that would not necessitate other instruments in order to be capable of being used as an aid during a tracheotomy.
- optical instrument can also be used to supply electric power to the light source (preferably constituted by an LED) arranged on any portion of the distal front 16 or of the flattened portion 17.
- the light source preferably constituted by an LED
- the light source can be directly embedded in the optical sensor (and/or associated therewith).
- the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
