Problems solved by technology

[0003] As can be appreciated, trapped air, swelling, mucus, or other fluid in the lungs caused by lung disease makes it difficult to effectively deliver inhaled medications to target sites deep in the lungs (e.g., bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli), which are often the most Requires medication, but is least likely to receive medication
In addition, it is often difficult to determine the efficacy of a particular drug immediately after administration to a patient

Embodiment Construction

[0028] Diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopic systems for local delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents, drugs, etc. within the lung are provided in accordance with the present disclosure. Given the dynamic nature of breathing with relatively limited systemic measures (e.g. maximal vital capacity, etc.), one of the challenges in respiratory medicine is to deliver inhalants or drugs to precise locations to better identify or treat many different lung diseases (e.g. obstructive pulmonary disease). The primary mode of delivery remains through the oropharynx (ie, the larynx). For a number of reasons (e.g., swelling, mucus, trapped air, anatomy), inhaled medications do not or cannot reach the lower respiratory airways, thereby failing to deliver effective treatment to the areas of the lungs that need it most. The system provides clinicians with the ability to dispense a therapeutic or diagnostic agent or drug directly to a target site to ensure delivery and to assess the e...

Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for navigational bronchoscopy and selective drug delivery. Provided in accordance with the present disclosure is a diagnostic and a therapeutic bronchoscopy system for localized delivery of medication within the lungs. Specifically, systems and methods are disclosed for creating a functional and anatomical map of the lungs, diagnosing a condition within the lungs, generating a treatment plan for a target site within the lungs, navigating to the target site, administering a treatment directly to the target site for immediate absorption within the target site, and assessing the efficacy of the treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to surgical systems, and more particularly, to systems and methods for diagnosing, navigating, and locally treating pulmonary disorders. Background technique [0002] Tens of millions of people suffer from lung diseases such as emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ("COPD"), asthma, interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, cancer, pulmonary edema, or countless other diseases that affect the lungs. [0003] As can be appreciated, trapped air, swelling, mucus, or other fluid in the lungs caused by lung disease makes it difficult to effectively deliver inhaled drugs to target sites deep in the lungs (e.g., bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli), which are often the most Medication is required, but least likely to be received. Furthermore, it is often difficult to determine the efficacy of a particular drug immediately after administration to a patient. Accordingly, there is a need for diagnostic and therapeutic bronc...
