CA 2639791

Apparatus for introducing an airway tube within a patient's trachea, and methods of use, are provided, in which the an elongated rigid bougie includes a light source and imaging system configured to be introduced into a patient's trachea using video images received from the imaging system. Once a distal end of the bougie is visually confirmed to be placed with the patient's trachea, an airway tube is advanced over the bougie. The apparatus also may include two separable components, thereby facilitating video-guided placement of one component in pediatric applications under guidance of video images provided by the second component.

L'invention concerne un appareil pour introduire un tube trachéen dans la trachée d'un patient et des méthodes d'utilisation de celui-ci, comportant une bougie rigide allongée comprenant une source lumineuse et un système d'imagerie configuré pour être introduit dans la trachée d'un patient, utilisant des images vidéo reçues du système d'imagerie. Une fois qu'une extrémité distale de la bougie est confirmée visuellement comme étant placée dans la trachée du patient, un tube trachéen est avancé par-dessus la bougie. L'appareil peut aussi inclure deux composants séparables, facilitant ainsi le placement guidé par vidéo d'un composant dans des applications pédiatriques avec guidage par images vidéo, fournies par le deuxième composant.
