An airway device used to establish an airway in an unconscious person or person receiving general anesthesia. The device is composed of a gas tube with a breathing circuit connector on one end and an endplate on the other. The present art incorporates a guide cord, guide loops or conduits, a pull-ring, endplate creases, tubular notches and geometric gas tube designs. Specifically, the guide cord is attached to the endplate tip and routed through the endplate and gas tube by means of the guide loops or conduits. The guide cord exits near the gas tube connector and terminates to a pull-ring. The guide cord conveys pull-ring manipulation to the endplate and permits change of endplate attitude and shape and prevents endplate fold back. Also, endplate creases, gas tube notches and geometric gas tube designs are applied to optimize insertion and safety of the device.

Described are equipment, a system, a kit and a method for the performance of a minimally-intensive body access, such as cardiac access. Epicardial Access Surgery (EAS) is disclosed. EAS does not need general anesthesia or extracorporeal circulation nor does it need a chest opening, which is very advantageous for various aspects. For instance an operation of a coronary artery bypass is created by creating a direct path of flow from one body artery into a coronary artery with the aid of catheter-based minimally-invasive EAS based bypass surgery. In addition, various medical devices are used, such as a special partially flexible needle, a special partially covered stent, and a special partially flexible port.

Methods and compositions for agonizing a type-2 orexin receptor (OX2R) in a cell determined to be in need thereof, including the general method of (a) administering to a subject a cyclic guanidinyl OX2R agonist and (b) detecting a resultant enhanced wakefulness or increased resistance to diet-induced accumulation of body fat, or abbreviated recovery from general anesthesia or jet lag.

A controllable intubating stylet (CIS) for use by anesthesia and other health care providers is used in conjunction with a video laryngoscope and endotracheal tube in order to achieve intubation of the trachea for general anesthesia as well as other medical conditions. The video laryngoscope is used to visualize the tracheal opening. The CIS is inserted into an endotracheal tube and directed into the trachea. The endotracheal tube then is maneuvered over the stylet and into the trachea, and thereafter, the CIS is removed. The patient can then be oxygenated and ventilated by way of the endotracheal tube. The CIS includes a control mechanism similar to current bronchoscopes which allows for flexion of the tip and overall flexibility of the stylet. In contrast to the bronchoscope, however, the CIS includes no fiberoptics or associated components, such as a light source or eyepiece, making the CIS much less expensive to produce.

The embodiments herein provide a maxillary protraction device is provided for treating Maxillary Transverse Discrepancies in young orthodontic patients and in skeletally mature patients using only local anesthesia and without administering general anesthesia. The maxillary protraction device comprises a hyrax provided with an adjustable screw and a plurality of bands connected to the hyrax through a connecting wire. A tongue plate is connected to the hyrax through the connecting wire. A tongue sprue wire is provided and soldered to an anterior segment of a premolar band to reinforce the tongue plate. The connecting wire holds the tongue plate in a position to resist a tongue pressure. The physiological tongue forces produced during swallowing are used to move the maxilla in forward, sagittal and vertical directions. The parasagittal osteotomy is employed to reposition the individual segments in a widened transverse dimension, and to facilitate 3-dimensional movements of the maxilla.

The invention relates to a portable anesthesia combined-type device which belongs to the technical field of medical appliances. The portable anesthesia combined-type device provided by the invention comprises an anesthetic low-temperature storage box and an anesthesia equipment storage cabinet, wherein an anesthetic storage hand-lifting box is disposed in the anesthetic low-temperature storage box; a hand-lifting box handle is disposed on the upper side of the anesthetic storage hand-lifting box; a hand-lifting box limiting fixation ring is disposed on the outer side of the anesthetic storage hand-lifting box; a switch combined-type disk is disposed on the front side of the anesthetic low-temperature storage box; a combined-type disk protective cover is disposed on the left side of the switch combined-type disk; the combined-type disk protective cover is connected to the switch combined-type disk by a protective cover hinge; a protective cover lateral-opening handle is disposed on the left side of the combined-type disk protective cover; a temperature display screen is disposed on the right upper side of the switch combined-type disk; a temperature adjustment knob is disposed on the switch combined-type disk; and a storage cabinet sterilization switch is disposed on the lower side of the temperature adjustment knob. The device provided by the invention has the advantages that functions are complete; utilization is convenient; and during general anesthesia or local anesthesia of a patient, operations are scientific and effective, time and efforts are saved, and workloads of medical workers are greatly reduced.

An anti-hypothermia composition is provided, in particular an anti-hypothermia composition that prevents hypothermia caused by general anesthesia during surgical operations. The composition prevents hypothermia by preventing the decrease in the biological function of patients and correcting acidosis. Specifically, the anti-hypothermia composition is a preparation containing a bicarbonate ion and provided in the form of an infusion fluid. The infusion fluid preferably contains sodium bicarbonate as a major component that serves as a source of the bicarbonate ion, along with each or a combination of other electrolytes, glucose and amino acids.

Disclosed is a tracheal intubation tube fixing device for securing an airway in the patient's respiratory tract and inducing the artificial respiration of a patient in the intensive care unit or under a general anesthesia operation. The device includes a body to surround the patient's face and mouth and including an airway securing block, a suction tube insertion opening, an intubation tube insertion hole and band fixing holes, a pivotal fixing member to fix an inserted intubation tube, a coupling structure to assure free entrance and exit of the pivotal fixing member into and out of the intubation insertion hole, a padding member attached to Velcro tapes of the body, and a holding member configured to closely surround the patient's rear neck and coupled to the body via the band fixing holes to prevent the body from being moved from a wearing position thereof.
