Medical apparatus and method of administration and removal of fluids from a patient
View Patent ↗Embodiments presented provide for a medical apparatus that allows for administration of a fluid, such as oxygen, to a patient, and to allow a medical professional to quickly and precisely administer such oxygen and/or a gaseous sedative with little waste.
1 . An apparatus, comprising:
a body configured with a first end opening and a second end, a top surface and a bottom surface, the first end opening of the body configured to be inserted into an oral cavity of a patient and down a throat of the patient, the body comprising:
a first trunk line extending from and enclosed between the first end opening to the second end into the body;
a second trunk line extending from and enclosed between the first end opening to the second end into the body;
a first series of ports configured through at least a portion of the body connected to the first trunk line, the first series of ports extending from the first trunk line through a side of the body;
a second series of ports configured through at least a second portion of the body connected to the second trunk line, the second series of ports extending from the second trunk line through a second side of the body;
a mouth opening extending from the first end opening to the second end; and
a connection arrangement configured on the second end, wherein the connection arrangement is configured to attach an oronasal cannula having two nasal cannulae and an oral cannula to the body, the connection arrangement having at least two nose openings and the mouth opening and wherein a first of the nose openings extends to the first trunk line to create a passage from the first end to the second end of the body and a second of the nose openings extends to the second trunk line from the first end to the second end of the body and wherein when a nasal cannulae are connected to the first and second nose openings, a leak tight seal is formed between the first end of the body through the body, the connection arrangement and into the nasal cannula and further wherein upon connection of the oral cannula to the mouth opening of the connection arrangement, a leak tight seal is formed from the first end of the body through the body, the connection arrangement and into the oral cannula to form a closed system and wherein a suction operation through the mouth opening can occur during use of the first and second nose openings.
2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the body is configured of a plastic.
3 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the body further comprises:
an expanded portion located at the second end, wherein the expanded portion is configured to protrude from the oral cavity of the patient.
4 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the body is further configured with a curvature along a longitudinal axis of the body.
5 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the body further comprises:
a throat area located adjacent to the second end.
6 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the throat area is configured as an expanded cone shape.
7 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first series of ports are configured in one of a round, oval, diamond and square shape.
8 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second series of ports are configured in one of a round, oval, diamond and square shape.
9 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one orifice placed within at least one nose opening.
10 . An apparatus, comprising:
a body configured with a first end opening and a second end, a top surface and a bottom surface, the body having a curvature along a longitudinal axis and the first end of the body configured to be inserted into an oral cavity of a patient, the second end configured to protrude from the oral cavity of the patient, the body further comprising:
a first trunk line extending from and enclosed between the first end opening to the second end into the body connecting to a first series of ports;
a mouth opening extending from the first end to the second end;
a second trunk line extending from and enclosed between the first end opening to the second end into the body connecting to a second series of ports, wherein the first trunk line and the first series of ports and the second trunk line and the second series of ports are configured to transport gases to and from the oral cavity of the patient;
the first series of ports extending from the first trunk line through a side of the body;
the second series of ports extending from the second trunk line to a second side of the body; and
a connection arrangement configured on the second end, wherein the connection arrangement is configured to attach an oronasal cannula having two nasal cannulae and an oral cannula to the body, the connection arrangement having at least two nose openings and a mouth opening and wherein the connection arrangement is leak tight such that gases entering and exiting the cannula do not leak from the connection arrangement and wherein a first of the nose openings extends to the first trunk line to create a passage from the first end to the second end of the body and a second of the nose openings extends to the second trunk line from the first end to the second end of the body and wherein when a nasal cannulae are connected to the first and the second nose openings, a leak tight seal is formed between the first end of the body through the body, the connection arrangement, and into the nasal cannula and further wherein upon connection of the oral cannula to the mouth opening of the connection arrangement, a leak tight seal is formed from the first end of the body through the body, the connection arrangement, and into the oral cannula to form a closed system and wherein a suction operation through the mouth opening can occur during use of the first and the second nose openings.
