Abstract
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention there is provided a bite block assembly adapted for capnography and oxygen delivery to a subject, the bite block assembly (50) including a first capnography passageway adapted for passage therethrough of exhaled breath from the subject to a capnograph and a second oxygen delivery passageway, separate from the first passageway, adapted for passage therethrough of oxygen from an oxygen source to the mouth of the subject.
Claims20
A bite block assembly comprising:
- a body comprising a first outer surface, an inner surface, and a first opening disposed on the outer surface, wherein the inner surface is configured to contact at least a portion of a patient's mouth;
- a hollow tubular portion extending away from the inner surface between the first opening and a second opening and configured to be inserted into the patient's mouth, wherein the hollow tubular portion terminates at the second opening;
- a groove extending between an outer periphery of the body and a third opening disposed on a second outer surface of the hollow tubular portion, wherein the groove is orthogonal to the hollow tubular portion;
- and
- an oxygen delivery channel disposed on the body and adjacent to the hollow tubular portion, wherein the oxygen delivery channel is configured to supply oxygen to the patient.
