Embodiment approach

[0090] The device disclosed in this document comprises a part connected to a pipe or similar structure consisting of one or several interconnected tubular parts and referred to hereinafter as a connecting pipe.

[0091] refer to figure 1 with figure 2 , a patient mask (1) is provided as a facial interface, which patient mask is adapted by straps (2) to provide a tight-fitting coverage of at least both the nose and mouth of the patient. The patient mask (1) is provided with a first non-return valve (3) which allows air to enter during inhalation and with an opening (4) for connection to the connecting tube (6). A first horizontal opening (5), wherein the opening (4) of the patient mask (1) communicates with the mouth / nose interface to create an open air passage through the patient mask (1). The patient mask (1 ) is preferably removable from the first horizontal opening (5) of the connecting tube (6) to allow providing a patient mask (1 ) of a size well suited to the patients...

Embodiment 1

[0110] A pilot study on thirty-four subjects with otitis media with effusion (OME) demonstrated 100% compliance and an immediate improvement in middle ear pressure after 2 minutes of application. The subjects, aged 2 to 4 years, were recruited from kindergarten. 91% of the ears achieved the effect of middle ear ventilation.

Embodiment 2

[0112] A preliminary study of six adults who experienced sinus and / or ear squeeze symptoms while flying showed immediate relief in five of the six subjects (83%) and no adverse effects were observed.

Abstract

A device combining a treatment of ear and sinus conditions along with speech therapy and administration of medication is disclosed. The device comprises a patient face mask, adapted to cover mouth andnose of a patient, and a visual and/or audio feedback mechanism connected to the face mask and adapted to provide feedback through internal air pressure in a device's compartment. The device's compartment is adapted to be in fluid communication with the patient mouth and nose during its operation. The device may comprise a supervisor face mask. Expiration into the face mask(s) increases air pressure. An increase in air pressure within the device activates the feedback mechanism and will lead to effective middle ear and sinus ventilation. The feedback mechanism may also be used in speech therapy for feedback to the patient. Drugs may be administered into the system for treatment of airway disease of for the purpose or general anaesthesia.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for speech therapy, oxygen and / or inhaled drug administration in children and also for non-surgical treatment of otitis, sinusitis and barotrauma in children and adults. More specifically, the present invention relates to a device for middle ear and paranasal sinus ventilation in which normal anatomy and physiology are restored with or without the active cooperation of the patient. The device is suitable for treating children and adults with otitis and sinus infections, as well as for air travelers and divers who experience ear pain and / or sinus pain due to barotrauma. In addition, the device allows visual and auditory feedback relying on breathing techniques for effective speech therapy and can be used to administer inhaled drugs as well as anesthesia induction and therapy. [0002] Framework of the invention [0003] Many children receive speech therapy to improve their speech skills, pronunciation, tongue po...
