Description

APPLICATION-BASED VIDEO LARYNGOSCOPY DEVICE INTEGRATED WITH MOBILE DEVICES
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention is an application-based video laryngoscopy system that can be used during endotracheal intubation and is integrated with mobile devices like mobile phones/tablets.
The invention is an application-based video laryngoscopy system compatible with mobile devices like mobile phones/tablets, allowing to view the images obtained by the camera on the blade of a video laryngoscopy device placed in patients' mouths.
PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE
The optimal method for maintaining airway patency is endotracheal intubation. Today, direct laryngoscopy is widely used to perform this procedure. Direct laryngoscopy involves placing the tip of the blade in the patient's mouth, lifting the tongue using force, and visualizing the vocal cords. Then, the tube is placed in the trachea between the vocal cords and endotracheal intubation is performed.
However, this is a difficult procedure that requires experience. Some factors like the patient's anatomical features, the presence of substances like blood or vomit in the region, or neck injury cases could prevent positioning the patient's head, making intubation difficult, even for experienced physicians. The procedure can be difficult even in patients who appear normal. While numerous methods have been developed to increase the success of intubation, the recently introduced video laryngoscopy (VL) devices have surpassed them all. In a standard laryngoscopy device, the practitioner tries to see the vocal cords by looking directly inside the mouth. For this, the patient's neck must be hyperextended, the tongue must be lifted with the laryngoscope blades using force, and the practitioner must bend down and try to see the vocal cords from inside the patient's mouth. On the other hand, in VL devices, the image is indirectly transferred to the monitor from a few centimeters away from the vocal cords, thanks to a micro camera. Hence, the practitioner obtains a clear, magnified view of the vocal cords on the screen, facilitating the endotracheal intubation procedure, increasing the chances of success, and shortening the procedure time.
In the existing devices, the image is transferred to small monitors placed on a device or to a device with a monitor through a cable. Systems that transfer to a remote monitor include components like a processor, image processing units, a battery, and a screen inside the device. In systems that include the monitor on the device, these components are integrated with the blade. Both systems require an electronic card, a monitor, and a battery.
Also, the existing VL devices use a single light source.
In the existing VL systems, the body does not facilitate handling or use, making the intervention difficult and reducing the quality of the procedure.
Therefore, there is a need for a new laryngoscopy imaging system that overcomes these shortcomings and eliminates the current disadvantages.
PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a VL system that directly transfers the image to mobile devices like mobile phones/tablets via an application. The invention eliminates the need for all aforementioned components, allows to directly transfer the image to mobile devices via the application, and increases the quality of the procedure.
Also, the invention includes a second light system both around and next to the camera; this system allows to perform endotracheal intubation by direct laryngoscopy in case the camera does not function properly.
Moreover, the hand-held part of the blade is made in a way to provide a comfortable grip and steering.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The video laryngoscopy system that is the subject of the invention in Figure-1 consists of the video laryngoscopy device (100), a transfer cable (200), a mobile device (300), and an application in this mobile device (300) that is used to provide the images. One of the ends of the transfer cable (200) is produced to be compatible with mobile devices (300). Also, image transfer can be performed wirelessly via Bluetooth.
There is currently no video laryngoscopy system that allows direct image transfer to mobile devices (300) like mobile phones/tablets via an application. The present invention eliminates the need for all other components and allows direct image transfer to mobile devices (300) via the application.
The invention includes a second light source (111) both around the camera (112) and next to the camera (112). This way, if the camera (112) does not function properly, endotracheal intubation can be performed by direct laryngoscopy using the second light source (111).
Besides, the hand-held part of the blade (110) includes a notch (113) in the front and a camber (114) in the rear to ensure comfortable grip and steering.
A video laryngoscopy device (100) that serves the afore-mentioned purposes and that is integrated with mobile devices (300) can be produced in any branch of the industry and can be easily implemented into the industry. In summary, the invention is an application-based video laryngoscopy system that can be used in endotracheal intubation. The invention consists of a video laryngoscopy device (100) placed in the patient's mouth, a mobile device (300) like a mobile phone/tablet that is used to view the image obtained by the camera (112), located on the blade (110) part of the video laryngoscopy device (100), and an application in the mobile device (300) that is used to view the image. The application allows remote access, so the images can be viewed on other devices. The invention allows image transfer via the transfer cable (200) or wireless transfer via Bluetooth. The end of the transfer cable (200) is compatible with mobile devices (300) like cell phones/tablets.
The invention also includes a second light source (111) located around the camera (112) in the video laryngoscopy device (100). The second light source (111) is used endotracheal intubation to be performed by direct laryngoscopy in case the camera (112) does not function properly. Besides, the hand-held part of the blade (110) includes a notch (113) in the front and a camber (114) in the rear to ensure comfortable grip and steering.
