Title:
TRACHEAL TUBE COMPRISING TRACHEA SEALING PORTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/102674
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention provides a tracheal tube comprising: a hollow tube (100) inserted into the trachea; a first volume expansion portion (10) for encompassing one side of the hollow tube (100); a second volume expansion portion (20) positioned below the first volume expansion portion (10); a first conduit for expanding the first volume expansion portion (10) and the second volume expansion portion (20); and a second conduit for supplying media for sealing (80) to a trachea sealing portion positioned between the first volume expansion portion (10) and the second volume expansion portion (20). The tracheal tube of the present invention can reduce the pressure of two cuffs which are the volume expansion portions, and can effectively improve sealing by supplying media to the trachea sealing portion positioned between the two cuffs. The tracheal tube of the present invention can reduce pulmonary aspiration and can thus considerably prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The tracheal tube of the present invention can be applied to all patients who need a tracheal tube, such as a critically ill patient under artificial respiration, a patient who breathes through a tube inserted into a hole formed in the neck, a patient under general anesthesia, and the like.
