Definitions
- This invention relates to Nasal Cannulae particularly though not solely to nasal cannulae for delivering Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) to neonates.
- CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
- Certain individuals require a respiratory supplement such as air, oxygen, or other gases. Such gases are freely supplied and/or supplied at controlled pressures. Such gases are also supplied through the patient's mouth and/or through the patient's nose.
- Nasal supply systems provide an advantage in that they are generally more convenient and less intrusive than mouth based or mouth covering devices. Despite their convenience, nasal based devices are deemed uncomfortable in light of securement straps placed across the face and/or around the head and used to secure the device to an individuals breathing cavity.
- conventional cannulas do not provide a proper seal around the nares to inhibit apnoea and to provide a high flow system to stimulate the patient's breathing.
- these nasal devices often dislodge from the breathing cavity. This is of particular concern with children, infants, or the elderly who do not understand the importance of keeping the nasal breathing device in place, whether it be a nasal CPAP or nasal cannula.
- CPAP continuous positive airway pressure
- CPAP devices including endotracheal tubes, head chambers, face chambers, face masks, nasal prongs, and nasal cannula. While each type of device has advantages and disadvantages, the nasal cannula provides a comfortable alternative for providing CPAP and/or airflow assistance.
- Prior art nasal cannulae have been disclosed in many forms with various methods of securing the device to the nasal passageway.
- One such cannula assembly is disclosed in United States Patent No. 3,513,844 which uses an adjustable strap that encircles an individual's head.
- a similar device is disclosed in United States Patent No. 4,106,505 wherein the supply tubes to the cannula are hooked over an individual's ears and around the head. Even more cumbersome, United States Patent No.
- 5,477,852 discloses a device with a headband for holding and positioning the nasal inserts and associated supply tubes.
- Yet another system in United States Patent No. 5,271,391 discloses a cannula which is secured by applying strips of pressure sensitive adhesive tape to the supply tubes leading from each side of the cannula, thereby attaching the supply tubes to the cheeks of an individual with the cannula positioned in between.
- tubing for these bonnet type CPAP's is draped around both sides of the patient's cheek which means that the most comfortable lying down position is on the patient's back. Pressure on the patient's cheeks caused by the securement device can make other positions uncomfortable.
- United States Patent No. 4,823,789 discloses a nose tube anchoring strip which has an adhesive coated sheet shaped to fit over an individual's nose and an appendage for holding a nasal-gastric tube.
- United States Patent No. 5,156,641 which has an anchoring cord adhesively attached to an individual's nose at one end and attached to hold a naso-gastric catheter at the other end.
- United States Patent No. 5,513,635 provides a securement device with a body engagement portion which adheres across the nose of an individual with cannula engaging portions extending down therefrom.
- United States Patent No. 5,682,881 discloses the use of an adhesive foam pad secured to the upper lip for positioning of the cannula.
- a unified nasal cannula comprises a hollow tubular body having an upper flat or plane surface and a pair of spaced and curved elongated tubular extensions, having exterior orifices for directing a gas flow which extensions project upwardly at an angle from the surface.
- a cannula including an airway injecting gas in fluid communication with nostrils of a patient and aerodynamically designed passageways for both the ambient air and the injected gas to optimize the fluid flow characteristics during inhalation and exhalation of the patient.
- a cannula is described attached to an elongated flexible tube.
- the nasal prongs include bulbous portions that seat and seal the nasal tubes in the nares.
- a device for generating by ejector action a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), comprising a breathing-channel which at one end opens into the atmosphere and at another end is adapted to be provided with an attachment device to the nose and/or mouth of the patient as seen in Figure 1.
- the inlet is situated between a channel open to the atmosphere and open to the prongs in such a manner that the stream of fresh gas is directed mainly co-axially into the channel, producing an ejector action.
- the present invention maybe broadly said to consist in nasal cannula for delivering respiratory gases to a neonatal infant
- a manifold including a chamber, a gases inlet to said chamber and a gases outlet to said chamber, and a low resistance path for said gases through said chamber from said inlet to said outlet a pair of nasal prongs in fluid communication with said chamber substantial equidistant said inlet, said prongs juxtaposed directly in said path.
- said cannula includes securement means to hold said prongs in place in the nares of said neonate.
- securement means including a strap adapted to pass around the back of the neck of said neonate and engage with said cannula and thereby hold said prongs in place in the nares of said neonate.
- said strap includes a low resistance portion, said low resistance portion adapted to engage with said cannula in a sliding fashion to allow said strap substantial lateral (iguanian axial) movement relative to said cannula.
- said low resistance portion comprises a thin plastic strand or strip.
- the remainder of said strap includes an adjustable attachment to said low resistance portion to in use adjust the tension of said strap.
- said securement means including an infant bonnet comprising head cover means adapted to at least partially cover the head of an infant and including at least a cuff of elastic property to securely locate said cover means on said infant head, and medical tube securing means connected with said cover means on the outer surface thereof, said medical tubes adapted to in use connect to said cannula, said securing means operable to hold medical tubes passing over said cover means against at least lateral (iguanian axial) movement.
- said head cover means is formed of a knit fabric in a tubular configuration and open at both ends, said securing means is connected with said outer surface adjacent one said open end and end closing means are connected with said outer surface adjacent the other said open end, said end closing means being operable to hold the said knit fabric of its respective said end in a closed, bunched together, condition.
- either or both of said tube securing means and said end closing means are or include a lace or tie stitched to said head cover means.
- said lace or tieing is secured at its centre to said head cover means to provide two arms, said arms passing through a tightening toggle slidable on said arms.
- said tightening toggle is operable between at least two conditions, being biased to a pinch off condition in which said arms of said lace or tie are clamped within their passage through said toggle and manipulable to a free configuration in which said toggle may slide a long said arms of said lace or tie.
- the present invention may be broadly said to consist in a system for delivering respiratory gases in a neonatal infant
- a source of pressurised gases comprising a source of pressurised gases, an inhalatory conduit in fluid communication with said source of gases and adapted to convey gases, a nasal cannula in fluid communication with said inhalatory conduit and adapted to deliver gases to the nasal passages of said infant, an exhalatory conduit in fluid communication with said delivery means and adapted to convey gases from said delivery means, and a pressure regulating device disposed within or in fluid communication with said exhalatory gases transport means and adapted to achieve a predetermined mean pressure of gases delivered to the nasal passages of said infant by regulating the flow of gases through said pressure regulating device.
- Preferably pressure regulating device comprising: a container adapted to house a body of liquid, terminal conduit means including proximate and distal ends, said proximate end adapted for connection to said exhalatory conduit, and said distal end adapted for submergence in said body of liquid, such that in .use the mean pressure of gases delivered to the nasal passages of said infant is determined by the level to which said distal end is submerged in said body of liquid.

- FIG. 11 A humidified Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) system is shown in which a patient 19 is receiving humidified and pressurised gases through a nasal cannula 28 connected to a inhalatory conduit 21.
- CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
- Inhalatory conduit 21 is connected to the outlet 12 of a humidification chamber 10 which contains a volume of water 15.
- Inspiratory conduit 21 may contain heating means or heater wires 20 which heat the walls of the conduit to ensure a constant humidity profile along the conduit and therefore reduce condensation of humidified gases within the conduit.
- water vapour begins to fill the volume of the chamber above the water's surface and is passed out of the humidification chamber 10 outlet 12 with the flow of gases (for example air) provided from a gases supply means or blower 18 which enters the chamber 10 through inlet 16.
- gases for example air
- the humidified gases pass through the inhalatory conduit 21 to the cannula 100 connected to the patient's 19 nose through prongs 116,118.
- the expired gases pass through the prongs 116,118 to the output manifold 130.
- the excess gases then flow through the exhalatory conduit 230 to a pressure regulator 234.
- the pressure regulator 234 takes the form of discharging the flow of exhalatory gases into a chamber 204 containing a column of water 238 as seen in Figure 11.
- the gases flowing through the exhalatory conduit 230 are discharged into the body of water 238 from a short conduit 236 which extends from the expiratory conduit into the chamber 204.
- the outlet port 252 includes shielding to prevents liquid aerosols created by the vigorous bubbling on the surface of the water from being expelled.
- the short conduit 236, could equally be integrated into the end of the expiratory conduit 230.
- the mean pressure of supplied gases through the cannula 100 can be controlled.
- the inlet manifold 110 includes an inlet port 112. This accepts the gas flow from the humidifier and air/oxygen blender or any other flow source apparatus as would be appropriate.
- the diameter of the inlet manifold 110 is as large as possible to ensure minimal pressure drop in the gases before delivery to the patient.
- In fluid communication with the inlet manifold are two nasal prongs 116, 118. The gases are then able to flow from the inlet manifold 110 up through the nasal prongs into the corresponding nares of the patient.
- the prongs 116, 118 themselves are cylindrical with a slight taper narrowing at the top. The diameter is carefully chosen such that it will substantially seal against the interior of the nare, without imparting any substantial pressure thereon. As well as sealing this also provides some level of securement and keeps the cannula 100 in place.
- FIG. 2 An important feature of the present invention is shown in Figure 2 and in more detail in Figure 3.
- the two nasal prongs 116, 118 are spaced apart at a distance optimised for the nare spacing for a neonatal infant.
- the present invention would be equally applicable for patients of all sizes and the design is easily scalable. It will be appreciated that while the nasal structure of each infant will be somewhat different, almost inevitably the septum will be lower than the fleshy parts on the side of the nose. As mentioned in the discussion of the prior art this may result in irritation and pressure necrosis on the septum. It can be seen that the inlet manifold 110 has a notch 126 or indentation in its uppermost portion between the two nasal prongs 116, 118. The indentation 126 is designed such that there will be no contact with the septum.
- FIG. 5 showmg a sectional view of the cannula 100.
- the inlet mamfold 110 is separated from the outlet mamfold 130 by a partition 132 running horizontally the length of both manifolds.
- the partition 132 terminates approximate to the base 134 of the prongs 116, 118. In this fashion there will always be at least some flow flowing directly from the inlet manifold 110 to the outlet manifold 130. This ensures that the deadspace or tidal volume is limited to the volume of the prongs 116,118.
- This configuration results in the minimum build up of expired C0 2 and also reduces any opportunity for condensation in the cannula 100.
- the prongs 116, 118 are made from a moulded rubber or silicon insert 136 which has an interference or compression fit seal to the hard plastic body 138 of the cannula 100.
- the prongs are able to be used as a disposable component or alternatively easily interchangeable for different sizes, a nasal mask, mouthpiece or other interface as desired.
- the inlet port 112 connects directly to inlet manifold 110 and may be provided with any typical connection configuration for commercially available conduits.
- the outlet port 142 is in fluid communication with the outlet manifold 130.
- a further sensor port 144 is provided to measure any parameters of the delivered gases for example pressure, temperature, humidity.
- An integral 10mm inlet 10mm outlet conduit 154 formed from extruded PVC or silicon was found to be suitable for this purpose.
- the sensor port 144 is connected to a measurement tube 156 which may also form part of the integral inlet outlet tube 154 connected to the cannula 100.
- the cannula 100 is secured to the neonates head by a bonnet overs its head.
- the infant bonnet of the present invention includes a head covering portion 330 which is preferably formed of a stretchable or elastic material having thermal insulation property.
- An example of appropriate material is a synthetic or cotton knit fabric.
- the head covering 330 is provided in the form of a open ended tube. Where the material of the covering 330 provides more stretch along one principal axis then that principal axis as preferably aligned across the axis of the tube.
- the head covering 330 preferably includes a zone adjacent one open end 332 which is stiffer than the surrounding region.
- the zone 331 may comprise for example a region of modified knit form, a cuff formed from an alternate material or material configuration or a multi layer hem of the tube.
- a securing device is provided on the outer surface of the covering 330 for supporting a breathing tube or other medical conduits or wiring.
- the securing means is a strap 333 with which is sewn onto the bonnet.
- the strap has Velcro attached at one end.
- the nasal tubing is fitted with a foam block 334 with a triangular outside shape.
- the foam block 334 is positioned on the strap 333.
- the strap 333 is then closed around the foam block and secured with the Velcro.
- the foam block 334 is used to firmly hold the nasal tubing 321 in place on the bonnet 330 to prevent displacement of the nasal prongs from the nares.
- the second open end 347 of the head covering 330 is preferably formed with a simple hem.
- the open end 347 is preferably closeable or retainable in a closed position by a closing means 340.
- the closing means 340 may comprise a further lace or tie of similar configuration to the securing means 333.
- the lace or tie 340 has two arms 342, 344. The arms 342, 344 preferably tie together or pass through a toggle.
- the end 347 of head covering 330 is bunched together as an end bunch 341
- the loop of lace or tie 340 is passed over the bunch 341.
- the bunch 341 is firmly secured in a closed configuration within the tightened loop of the lace or tie 340.
- the closing means 340 thus provides for easy and efficient closing or opening of the infant bonnet should there be a need for access to the top of the head of the infant. Access may for example be required for placement of electrodes or for cranial ultrasounds. Where access is required the closing means 340 may be released and the bunched portion of end 347 opened to provide necessary access. This access is available without disturbing the other end 332 of the head covering 330 or the securing means 333 supporting medical tubes or wires in place.
- the neonate should not be breathing out of it's mouth. Both inhalation and exhalation should be done through the cannula.
- the neonates jaw is strapped shut to eliminate mouth leak. Mouth leak is undesirable because it causes a lower pressure thus reducing the level of CPAP.
- the cannula 100 is secured at its base to the back of the neonates head using strap 150.
- the strap connects at the base of the neonates skull on the back of the neck. It connects to the cannula 100 by way of a sliding strap 152.
- This strap is secured by way of clips to the hard plastic body 138 allowing the securing strap 150 substantial relative movement with respect to the cannula 100 as the neonate twists its head while providing adequate resfraining force directly on the cannula 100 without any twisting of the cannula 100. In one embodiment this is accomplished by a plastic e.g. acetal sliding strap which engages into sliding clips on the outer face of the cannula.
- the teflon strap is adjustably attached to the neck strap 150 to allow the tension to be adjusted to a comfortable level.
- the improvement reduces the likelihood of pressure necrosis or irritation that might normally be associated with the use of such a device.
- the improvement ensures a balanced feed to both prongs, low deadspace high flow through the manifold so rebreatbing of expired C0 2 is mmimised.
