United States Patent Ofiiice 3,173,418 DOUBLE-WALL ENDOTRAQHEAL CUFF Ostap E. Barau, 219 E. 12th St, New Yrk,:N.'Y. Filed Jan. 10, 1961, Ser. No. 82,367 6 Claims. (Cl. 128-651) This invention relates to a double-Wall endotracheal end, the external Wall of which is multiperforated for the administration of continuous or intermittent local endotracheal anesthesia. The very same cuff may-be very advantageously employed for endo-esophageal, endo-stomach, endo-duodenal, or pharyngeal surface anesthesia as well as surface anesthesia in any other cavity in the body.
The problem which anesthetists and surgeons have encountered in the use ofo'f endotracheal anesthesiais that shortly (about three quarters of an hour or sooner) after injection of anesthetic into the'trachea and placing of the endotracheal tube, the anesthetic wears off or is destroyed and the patient is thereafter unable to endure the pres ence of said instrument in the trachea. The patient starts to cough and vomit, making it difficult for the surgeon to perform the operating procedure. Attempts have been made to solve this problem by use of deep anesthesia administered to such level that the patient loses all endotracheal feeling and reflexes. Frequently this unnecessarily intoxicates the whole body system and often endangers the life of the patient, especially in the presence of damage to the cardio-vascular system, liver, kidney, lungs or brain centers.
An object of this invention is to provide an'improved endotracheal cuff providing for continuous or intermittent local endotracheal anesthesia around the endotracheal tube which enables the patient to tolerate the endotracheal tube not only during the light-superficial stage of general anesthesia, but also'in the absence of general anesthesia when the patient is awake. Such device may be life saving in conditions such as tetanus or bilateral pneumonia when a continuous free passage of oxygen to the lungs and suction of exudate from the lungs represents most important factors for a successful recovery.
A preferred form of this invention is shown by Way of illustration in the accompanying drawingsin which:
FIGURE 1 is a side View, partly broken away and in section, of a deflated endotracheal double cuff made in accordance with this invention and shown mounted on an endotracheal tube.
FIGURE 2 is a similar view, the endotracheal tube and cuff being rotated 90 degrees from their FIGURE l position, showing the inner cuff in inflated condition.
FIGURE 3 is a view similar to that of FIGURE 2 but showing the outer cuff only inflated and spraying local anesthetic.
FIGURE 4 is still another similar view showing both cuffs inflated and spraying anesthetic proximally'only.
FIGURE 5 is a view similar to that of FIGURE 4 but showing only partial inflation of the inner-cuff and full inflation of the outer cuff and spraying anesthetic around the entire surface of the outer cuff.
FIGURE 6 shows a modification as an'enlarged sec tional view showing the double endotracheal cuff mounted permanently on the endotracheal therewith.
tube as an integral unit FIGURE 6A is a section on the line 6-6 of FIG- URE 6.
FIGURE 7 is a longitudinal section through an endotracheal tube showing its stepped configuration for receiving the double-wall cuff herein claimed.
3,173,418 Patented Mar. 16., 1965 cuffs, namely, the internal cuff E (FIGURE 1 to FIG- URE 6 and FIGURE '8) is conventional, with the difference that after inflation it is tightly adherentto the external multiperforated cuff D except for one small part of theexternal cuff surface extending a distance L about 1 cm. proximally from the internal cuff (see FIGURES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8). In both cuffs openings 0 and P are formed as extensions of two separate canals S and T (FIGURES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8). Opening 0 is for in jection of anesthetic drugs H into the external cuff as in FIGURES 3, 4, 5 and 6 (into the space betweenthe internal and external cuff) and opening P is for injection of air into the internal cuff E. When the internal cuff E is inflated it contacts and extends the external cuff D mainly in the middle and lower portions and indirectly presses on the wall of trachea G (FIGURES 2 and 4), thereby tightly closing the tracheo-bronchial air passage below the double cuff. That situation makes itvpossible for the anesthetist to produce positive pressure in the lungs or perform artificial breathing forthe patient'by pressing and reducing the pressure on the rebreathing bag.
The external cuff D extends proximally as at L 1 cm. beyond the internal cuff (FIGURES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8). Both cuffs are fixed to the basal rubber cylinder F (FIGURES 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). What is most important, the external cuff D is multiperforated as at M. After injection of the anesthetic fluid H into the space between the internal and external cuffs, that fluid (through the multi-perforated external cuff holes MFIGURES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8) is sprayed uniformly around the tube K and external cuff D, anesthetizing the internal wall G .of the trachea and'by gravity flowing into the bronchial tree or upper respiratory airway depending on the position of the patient.
If the anesthetist has some reason to limit the aney thesia to the proximal part of the trachea, the larynx and the pharynx, then after inflation of the internal cuff E by air through its separate opening B, canal T, and intracuff opening P (FIGURES 2 and 4), the injected anesthetic-fluid H enters the externalcuff through its separate opening A, canal S, and intra-cuff opening 0, and is accumulated proximally (FIGURE 4). Since the external cuff extends a distance L of about 1 cm. farther proximally beyond the internal cuff (FIGURE 4), local anesthetic is sprayed around the proximal airway only, and by lowering of the upper part of the body only (Trendelenburg position), the anesthetic fluid flows into the larynx and pharynx, anesthetizing that area.
Another advantageous feature ofthe above presented double walled cuff is that, after injection of anesthetic fluid into the space between two surfaces of the cuffs, some amount of anesthetic remains in the capillary space between two cuffs and'continuously supplies some of the local anesthetic by leaking'through the small holes 'M of the external cuff D (FIGURES 3, 4, 5 and 6).
The modus operandi relating to the double walled endotracheal cuff here described and claimed is as follows:
After local spraying of the anesthetic into the pharynx and general induction'of anesthesia, together with injection of relaxant drugs, asisthe common practice today,
and properly oxygenating the patient, the endotracheal tube K with its double walled cuff is inserted into the trachea; Immediately 2 or 3 cc. of Cyclaine or other local mesthetizing agent are injected intoithe space between the internal and external cuffs through the above mentioned separate opening A. Under the fiuid'pr'essure the external cuff is stretched, the small multiple holes M (FIGURE 3) are opened and the anesthetic is sprayed through them around the tube-and on the endotracheal mucous membrane, flowing down into the tracheobronchial tree or into the pharynx according to the position of the patient. If, in some situation, it is important to anesthetize the upper airway only, above the cuff and proximally, then after inflation of the internal cuff E (FIGURE 4) through separate opening B (FIGURE 1) and clamping the canal T (FIGURE 2) by forceps, a tightly separated space is formed in the tracheo-bronchial tree below the double walled cuff. Because the external cuff is extended about 1 cm. (FIGURES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8) proximally beyond the internal cuff, the anesthetic fluid is sprayed proximally only (FIGURE 4) and flows into the upper airway during and because of the Trendelenburg position of the patient. Usually in about 45 minutes to one hour the anesthetic fluid is absorbed or destroyed and the patient may react to the presence of the tube K in the trachea. To prevent that reflex, another quantity of the anesthetic fluid is injected during deflation of the internal cuff, and the local endotracheal anesthesia is thereby prolonged.
After spraying of anesthetic fluid H and clamping by forceps of external cuff opening A, the internal cuff E may be inflated again if necessary.
Instead of intermittent injection of anesthetic fluid I-I it is possible to maintain a continuous local endo-tracheal anesthesia by continuously dropping local anesthetic into the external cuffs canal S, as it is done in intravenous medication.
In this manner there is the possibility not only of continuously maintaining the local anesthesia, but by continuous absorption of the local anesthetic it may be possible through the blood circulation to support general anesthesia by a local anesthetic, and thereby avoiding the cardio-vascular reflexes, This may be done, for example, by the use of Procaine or Pronestyl during some cardio-vascular operations.
A further advantage of this kind of anesthesia is that local anesthesia of the larynx reduces the danger of laryngo-spasms.
The above mentioned double-Wall endotracheal cuff may be advantageously used with any type of the endotracheal tube by adjusting or confirming the size of the double-Wall cuff to the size of the endotracheal tube (FIGURE 8). These cuffs may be mounted over the tubes, as two separate units (FIGURE 8), or they may be permanently secured to the endotracheal tube K as one unit (see FIGURES 6, 6A and 7).
' Cuff members E, D may be mounted on endotracheal tube K which should have an annular recess R (FIGURE 7) formed around the wall to accommodate the thickness of the cuff walls, thereby presenting a uniform thickness of the tube with the Cuff, which facilitates insertion of the endotracheal tube into the trachea (FIGURES 6, 6A and 7).
Furthermore, it is advisable that all canals of the double-wall cuffs be formed within the wall of the endotracheal tube K (FIGURES 6 and 6A), with an excava tion N between two canals to provide a greater lumen through the endotracheal tube K at that section, then extending separately outside the wall approximately 2-3 cm. This is helpful to the surgeon (while operating in the oral cavity), since all tubes are confined to one place (FIGURE 6).
The separate cuff canals S, T should be long enough to permit each canal to be separately clamped by forceps.
It is to be understood that the above described and illustrated instrument is but a preferred form of the invention and that it may be modified in many ways within the scope and spirit of the invention, as it is defined in the claims of this application.
