Abstract
A device for operatively coupling to a structure and directing gas flow and a method of use thereof are provided. The device comprises an attachment apparatus, a gas outlet nozzle, and a. housing. The attachment apparatus is configured to operatively couple to the structure. The gas outlet nozzle is configured to direct a flow of gas to a desired location. The housing is operatively coupled to the attachment apparatus and the gas flow nozzle.
Claims19
A device for operatively coupling to a laryngoscope for administration of a positive pressure to an airway of a mammal, the device comprising:
- a housing comprising a gas flow inlet port configured to receive a tube;
- an attachment apparatus operatively coupled to the housing and configured to operatively couple to the laryngoscope, the attachment apparatus comprising a first clamp arm and a second clamp arm;
- and
- a gas flow nozzle operatively coupled to the housing and configured to direct a flow of gas down a longitudinal axis of a buccal aspect of a blade of laryngoscope, the gas flow nozzle comprising a gas flow outlet port, a gas flow conduit defined in the housing and the gas flow nozzle to form fluid communication between the gas flow inlet port and the gas flow outlet port,
- wherein the gas flow inlet port, gas flow outlet port, and gas flow conduit are sized and configured to enable a gas flow in a range of greater than 0 liters per minute to 250 liters per minute as measured with a 54 pounds per square inch gauge pressure feed at the gas flow inlet port and the gas flow outlet port open to atmospheric pressure.
