The lung lobes function as independent units, each with its own bronchi and blood supply. When these lobes become edematous or affected by disease, they develop mechanical heterogeneity, which makes them respond differently to ventilation. This can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury.
Our approach is to treat and ventilate each lobe separately.
Convert from single to double lumen tube and double to singl
Placement of all different lumens guided by bronchoscopy
Ideal solution for thoracic surgery and interventional bronchoscopy.
Tracheal, bronchial, or lobar
The multiple-lumen tube system allows conversion from single, double, or triple-lumen.
New Approach for Treatment of Patients with Lung Disease requiring mechanical ventilation
Multi-lumen TUBE
Apparatus for selective lobe differential ventilation and drug delivery.
The ARDS tube allows segmental isolation, ventilation, recruitment and delivery of specific therapies for diseased lung segments without causing overdistension of normal lung zones. This device allows new modes of mechanical ventilation and new therapies to treat ARDS, prevent deaths, and reduce long-term complications.
