Abstract
A bronchoscopy scope guide () for a non-invasive ventilation (NIV) patient interface () comprises a semi-rigid scope guide tube (), a bronchoscopy scope seal (), and a semi-rigid grommet (). The semi-rigid scope guide tube () includes a principal axis () and entrance and exit guide portions (). The bronchoscopy scope seal () couples to the scope guide tube for sealing around a bronchoscopy scope when inserted through the scope guide tube. The semi-rigid grommet () is disposed about an outer circumference of and flexibly coupled to the scope guide tube () and is located in a principal plane () transverse to the principal axis of the scope guide tube. The scope guide tube () is pivotally manipulate-able about the flexible coupling of the grommet () for positioning a distal end () of the exit guide portion of the scope guide tube proximate, but not in contact with, one of a nasal cavity or mouth opening of a patient for assisted guidance control of the bronchoscopy scope within an interior region () of the patient interface () in performance of a bronchoscopy procedure.
