A laryngoscope for use in viewing the vocal cords of a patient in performance of an endotracheal intubation. The laryngoscope includes a handle to be gripped by a medical professional in performing the endotracheal intubation; a blade portion extending from the handle to lift the patient's tongue and mandible for viewing the vocal cords and aid in the insertion of an endotracheal tube; a power source; and a black light source powered by the power source and carried by the blade portion to prompt the visible effects of fluorescence and phosphorescence with respect to the patient's vocal cords for viewing the vocal cords and passing of the endotracheal tube there between during endotracheal intubation.

The present disclosure relates to a device for holding an endotracheal tube. The device includes a rail having opposite ends and a plurality of grooves at least partially along the length of the rail between the opposite ends. The device also includes a tube holder coupled to and slidable relative to the rail between the opposite ends. The tube holder includes at least one lever arm partially received with the grooves of the rail to allow lateral repositioning of the tube holder relative to the rail, a tie having a slit and a plurality of teeth, a base extending away from a patient relative to the at least one lever arm, and a tab extending laterally from the tube holder with the tab configured to be received within the slit of the tie. The base includes a pawl configured to engage at least one of teeth of the tie.

The present invention relates to a coupling arrangement for a system for endotracheal ventilation of a patient, which system comprises an endotracheal tube and a manifold (100) configured for allowing ventilation of the patient via said endotracheal tube, which manifold (100) has a first coupling means (300) with an axial extent (400) and with engagement means (330); and which endotracheal tube has a second coupling means (400) with an axial extent and with engagement means (420); wherein the coupling arrangement is configured to produce, when the first (300) and the second (400) coupling means are moved together in the axial 360 direction, a locking engagement between the engagement means (33, 420). The invention is characterised in that the first coupling means (300), in the axial direction, comprises an exterior screw thread (320); and that the second coupling means (400) comprises an exterior abutment face (430); that the coupling arrangement also comprises a disengagement means (350) configured for cooperating with said screw thread (320); and that the disengagement means (350) and the screw thread (320) are configured for allowing an axial movement of the disengagement means (350) from a first position, in which said engagement means (330, 420) are in locking engagement, to a second position in which the disengagement means (350) can influence the abutment face (430) by an axial force for releasing the locking engagement.

A double lumen endotracheal tube capable of being fixed to the trachea carina. The double lumen endotracheal tube includes: a first tube extended in one direction; a second tube extended while being adjacent to the first tube and having an extended portion bent toward one side thereof and extended longer than the first tube; a first balloon extended while passing through the first tube so as to expand or contract a first cuff connected to the end thereof; a second balloon extended while passing through the second tube so as to expand or contract a second cuff connected to the end thereof; and a third balloon extended while passing through between the first tube and the second tube so as to expand or contract a third cuff connected to the end thereof.

The present invention relates generally to medical devices, methods, and kits. More particularly, the present invention relates to improved endotracheal tubes or patient ventilation tubes which prevent the leakage of proximal secretions to the distal airways.

The invention discloses a laryngeal mask with a retractable tracheal tube, which comprises a cup, a tracheal tube and a retractable mechanism; wherein an airbag is provided on the contour edge of the cup, and the cup extends to a side away from the airbag There is a connecting part; the tracheal tube is movably worn in the cup, and the tracheal tube is provided with a cuff; one end of the retractable mechanism is connected with the inner wall of the connecting part, and the other end of the retractable mechanism is connected with the outer wall of the tracheal tube, The retractable mechanism is retractable on either side of the two sides at the connection position of the retractable mechanism and the connecting portion. The laryngeal mask with the retractable tracheal tube provided by the invention realizes the integration of the laryngeal mask and the tracheal tube, and can realize the rapid switching between the laryngeal mask and the tracheal tube in the pharyngeal cavity of the patient.

ET securement devices and methods are provided wherein the ET securement devices generally include two portions: a first portion for securing an ET tube and a second portion for attaching to the patient. The first portion is configured to releasably attach to the second portion to secure the ET tube relative to the patient.
