Latest Patents
John Bernardi holds a patent for a device and method for unilateral lung ventilation. This system includes an endotracheal tube and a blocking device designed to block the bronchus of a non-ventilated lung. The purpose of this invention is to prevent a ventilation medium from entering the non-ventilated lung. The blocking device features an inflatable member supported by a catheter, which has an inflation lumen for inflating the inflatable member. Additionally, the catheter includes at least one lung treatment lumen for delivering therapeutic agents to the non-ventilated lung. The design incorporates an inner channel within the main channel and a side branch that provides a guideway for the blocking device. A valve may also be included to close the side branch when the blocking device is removed, allowing for parallel flow of ventilating gas in both the main and inner channels. The method of using this system facilitates ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) matching by delivering cooled air and nitric oxide to the non-ventilated and ventilated lungs, respectively.
