Upper Airway Surgery

Full ventilation and less risk of barotrauma

A small bore tube may be preferred in order to create surgical exposure. The working principle of Evone and Ventrain, facilitating expiration, enables full ventilation through small bore lumens providing adequate ventilation even in cases involving critically obstructed upper airways. In comparison to traditional jet ventilation, it strongly reduces the risk of barotrauma

Clear and hygienic surgical environment and secured airway

Tritube has a cuff to seal the airway, which reduces the risk of aspiration. As well as creating a clear and hygienic surgical field, the cuff prevents vibration of the vocal cords via injected and exhaled gases.

Evone and Ventrain: solutions for several Upper Airway Surgery scenarios

• Avoiding a tracheotomy: if a lumen in the airway would hinder the surgeon, the patient can be ventilated though a transtracheal catheter, Cricath using Ventrain

Advantages of Evone, Ventrain and Tritube during Upper Airway Surgery

• Full ventilation (oxygenation and active CO2 removal);
• Non-vibrating vocal cords;
• Minimally invasive;
• Clear and hygienic working surgical environment;
• Increased surgical space.
