项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Koronis Biomedical Technologies Corporation (KBT) proposes to develop an innovative point of care tracheostomy airflow monitoring system with alarm, targeting pediatric patients. Tracheostomy tube placement is an increasingly common pediatric practice in the United States. While this is a lifesaving procedure, it adds significant cost to our healthcare system and continues to be fraught with complications. Two serious risks of tracheostomy are dislodgement and mucous plugging of the tracheostomy tube. These can occur at any time while the child has the device in place. Small children are at particular risk of hypoxia, and are unable to clear their tubes, or communicate distress to caregivers. At present, there are no sufficient technologies to monitor for these events prior to patient hypoxia and deterioration when a child with a tracheostomy tube is not using a mechanical ventilator with its associated monitors and alarms. This condition affects children who are mechanically ventilated only part of the time, receive breathing assistance by CPAP or BiPAP, or are breathing spontaneously. This proposal device will adapt to the standardized end of a tracheostomy tube and will provide early warning to alert caregivers to an obstruction or dislodgement of the tube. The goal of this device is to trigger earlier caregiver intervention to prevent hypoxia related injury to the pediatric patient.

描述（由应用程序提供）：Koronis Biomedical Technologies Corporation（KBT）提案，以惊恐地针对儿科患者开发一种创新的护理气管造口术气流监测系统。在美国，气管切开术管的放置是一种日益普遍的小儿实践。虽然这是一种救生程序，但它为我们的医疗保健系统增加了巨大的成本，并继续充满并发症。气管切开术的两个严重风险是气管切开术管的脱位和粘液堵塞。这些可以在孩子安装到位时的任何时候发生。小孩特别有缺氧，无法清除管子，也无法与看护人传达困扰。目前，在患者缺氧之前没有足够的技术来监视这些事件，并确定何时患有气管切开术管的儿童没有使用具有相关显示器和警报的机械呼吸机。这种情况会影响只有一部分时间机械通风的儿童，通过CPAP或BIPAP获得呼吸援助，或者是在赞助的。该提案设备将适应气管造口管的标准端，并将提供预警，以提醒护理人员对物体或管道的披露。该设备的目的是触发早期的护理人员干预，以防止与儿科患者相关的缺氧损伤。
