NASAL CANNULA BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION One of the most efficient methods of administering therapeutic oxygen to patients has been accomplished by the use of nasal cannulae. Early cannula models were somewhat cumbersome due not only to their relatively large sizes, but also in the manner by which they were affixed to the patient. For example, devices were attached to the users forehead or utilized strap means which extended around the cheeks to the back of the patients head. With the advent of plastic tubing, a number of improvements were realized, both as to the more efficient oxygen administration, as well as to the patients comfort, for example, as disclosed in US. Pat. Nos. 2,735,432 and 2,868,199. These cannulae are designed so that gases flow directly into the patients nasal passages and pharynx. This object was achieved by tilting a flattened portion of the cannula which lies against the patients face or cheeks, with respect to the plane of the elongated nasal extensions and by curving these extensions in a manner so as to conform with the shape of the nasal passageways.
Notwithstanding such improvements, there remained some disadvantages notably in the area of patient discomfort. The above-noted cannulae, as well as others, in view of their design, generally have been placed on the user so as to be primarily positioned or seated in the nasolabial area, i.e., the area between the patients upper lip and the nostrils. Even though such devices are made of soft, flexible plastic or rubber, in attempts to minimize skin irritation at the points of contact, some discomfort is known to persist. For example, when a patient is required to have prolonged oxygen administration thereby necessitating constant wearing of the cannula, both during awakening as well as sleeping hours, continued contact of the cannula, especially at the philtrum and around the unprotected upper lip and cheek areas causes inflammation and irritation. Not only does the wearer, inadvertently move the cannula while sleeping as the head moves from side to side, but when eating and/or talking, further movement occurs. There is also associated discomfort and inconvenience, particularly in talking or eating where the device is firmly positioned against the upper lip area and across the cheeks. As in the case in any instances of prolonged contact of the patients skin with an object, not only does irritation result, but inflammation and ulcerous conditions may occur after a period of time.
A further disadvantage associated with prior cannulae is in the method in which they are placed on the patient. Where a strap or elastic band is required to be secured around the back of the patients head, the head must be lifted. In cases where the patient suffers from a serious back, head or neck injury, movement of the head is quite undesirable and could cause additional injury. It is to the reduction or elimination of the above-noted disadvantages that the preset invention is directed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The nasal cannula described herein comprises a body portion having a hollow tunnel or tubular area extending therethrough and which body portion has an upper generally flat surface. A pair of spaced elongated tubular extensions extend from the flat surface. The extensions have an outer orifice for directing a gas flow to the nasal passageways of the patient and a lower interior orifice communicating with the tubular area of the body portion. The termination of the tubular area extending through the body provides an opening at each end, which openings may be connected to an oxygen supply tube. The tubular extensions are preferably curved so that they intersect the flat surface of the body portion at an angle. In use, the cannula when fitted to the patient is positioned so that the flat surface lies across the nostrils (anterior nares) and the approximate center thereof between the spaced tubular extensions rests upon the exterior nasal septum. In this manner, contact of the cannula with the upper lip area is essentially avoided with patient discomfort and .skin irritation minimized. These, as well as other advantages will be described and become more evident from the following detailed description.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 4 illustrates a preferred method by which the cannula is secured to the patient utilizing the oxygen supply tubes.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the construction of the nasal cannula 10 includes a body portion 11, having a hollow tunnel 17 through the entire length of the body portion II. Exterior openings 16 of the tunnel 17 are located at each end of the body portion 11. The size or diameter of the tunnel I7 is not particularly critical so long as it is essentially uniform throughout and sufficient to allow for unrestricted passage of gas therethrough. However, the diameter of the tunnel opening 16 should be great enough to allow for insertion of oxygen supply tubes 24 and 25. These supply tubes are preferably of catheter size, for example, having an external diameter of about 0.125 inches. The upper surface 12 of the body portion 11 is flattened so as to provide a smooth surface for contacting the patients nostrils and exterior nasal septum, although it may be slightly outwardly curved. The surface l2 not only provides for patient comfort, but, in addition and of more importance, prevents the cannula from turning or rotating thereby maintaining its proper position during use. Thus, with the flat surface engaging the anterior nares, the cannula does not tend to roll which would otherwise cause the tubular extensions to be displaced from within the nostrils. The rear edge 20 of the upper surface 12 is preferably rounded to provide a smooth surface should it contact the nasolabial area between a patients upper lip and nostrils. This feature is also shown in FIG. 3. The underside of lower surface 18 of the cannula body II as shown is shaped as the exterior diameter of the tunnel 17, but may have alternate form. However, in the interest of being lightweight and flexible, by molding the cannula 10 to have a general shape as shown, material requirements are minimized and simplified molding techniques may be utilized.
Integral with the cannula body I I and protruding or extending from the upper flat surface 12 are a pair of spaced tubular extensions 14. These extensions 14 are desirably curved, as shown, so that when placed within the nasal cavities (Note FIG. 3) they conform to the shape of the passageway as well as providing a smooth surface which may contact the delicate nasal membranes. It will be noted in FIG. 3 that the lower internal orifice 30 of each of the tubular extensions 14 open to the hollow tunnel 17 of the cannula body 11. Then, as oxygen is introduced into the cannula 10 through the oxygen supply tubes 24 and 25, there is an unrestricted passageway for entry of the oxygen through the orifices 30 of each of the tubular extensions 14 which oxygen then passes upward through the tubular extensions 14 and out of the upper external orifices 15. Thus, the oxygen is directly introduced into the patients nasal cavity and pharynx.
As best seen in FIGS. 1 and 3, the tubular extensions 14 intersect with the upper flat surface 12 of the cannula body 1 l at an angle which is preferably obtuse with the plane of the surface 12. The tubular extensions 14 are also preferably located at or near the forward edge of 22 of the surface I2, which location combined with the angle of intersection of the tubular extensions I4 with that surface provide maximum comfort to the patient and easy placement of the cannula extensions 14 into the nasal passageways. Although the extensions 14 may be curved to any desired extent, it has also been found that for most patients having normal nasal passageway contours where the plane of the external gas directing orifices 15 is essentially normal to the plane of the flat surface 12, proper gas flow direction and maximum patient comfort will be achieved. However, the greater or lesser curvatures of these tubular extensions 14 may be utilized depending on individual patient requirements. Yet, clue to the flexibility of these extensions 14 small angle deviation is possible by inserting the cannula extensions into the patients nostrils with concomitant movement of the extensions so as to conform to the patients nasal cavity.
Another preferred feature is in utilizing flared extensions 14. The flaring is preferably uniform between the lower internal orifice 30 and upper exterior orifice 15, resulting in a reduced velocity gas flow from the external orifice 15 as compared to the velocity at which the gas enters the lower orifice 30. Thus, although the same volume of gas will be delivered to the patient, the reduced gas velocity entering the nasal cavity avoids high-velocity impingement on the delicate nasal cavity membrane which could cause oxygen burn, irritation and discomfort. The amount of flaring between the external orifice 15 and the internal orifice 30 may be varied to any desired extent with diameter ratios between about 221 and about 4:l respectively being preferred.
The size of the cannula is not particularly critical with the provision that the length and width of the upper flat surface 12 to be such that it will rest comfortably when placed on the patient. Thus, for example, a length of the surface 12 being between about 1% and about 2 inches will ensure that it will span the width of the nostrils. Further, the width of the flat surface 12, i.e., the distance between the edges 22 and 20 should be sufficient to provide a comfortable contact area with the nostrils and nasal septum, while at the same time, holding the cannula firmly in place when on the patient. However, it should also be understood that this distance should not be excessive which would otherwise cause edge 20 to engage the upper lip area excessively, resulting in discomfort or irritation. In addition, the tubular extensions 14 should be separated or spaced so that they are comfortable and can be easilyinserted into the nasal passages. It will be appreciated that such dimensional requirements will vary between individual patients depending on age, size, facial features, etc. Thus, cannula model sizes may be varied accordingly.
FIG. 4 illustrates a preferred manner in which the cannula is worn by a patient. The cannula l rests across the patients nostril area (anterior nares) and the flexible oxygen supply tubes 24 and 25 are brought across the patients face, over and behind the ears, down the jaw areas and brought together under the chin. A hollow sliding member 28 of sufficient size to encompass both tubes 24 and 25, may then be adjusted so that the cannula will remain firmly in place without the tubes being unduly taunt. The cannula 10 may be easily removed by sliding the member 28 downwardly so that the supply tubes 24 and 25 become loosened. In this manner the cannula can be easily placed on a patient and removed without moving the patients head. The oxygen supply tubes 24 and 25 may be fitted into a larger oxygen supply tube which in turn is connected to an oxygen source as will be understood by those skilled in the art.
The above-described invention provides an oxygen administration device which not only can be easily fitted to and removed from a patient, but which is of minimum discomfort and irritation to the patient. Thus, since the cannula essentially contacts only the exterior nostril area, its presence is realized to the minimum possible extent. Further, the patient may eat, talk, and move his head while the cannula remains firmly, yet comfortably, in place. The fat upper surface which rests comfortably against the patients anterior nares prevents cannula rotation thereby maintaining its proper position with the gas directing tubular extensions located within the nostrils rather than slip ing out even though the supply tubes are rolled or tume somewhat. The cannula also 0 ers the advantage of being simple in design, and in expensive to fabricate. The composition of the cannula is preferably of the thermoplastic composition such as polyvinyl chloride or polyvinyl acetate which materials are understood to be quite pliable or flexible. Alternatively, the cannula may be fabricated from a rubber composition or other flexible synthetic materials. The cannula obviates the requirement of straps or bands thereby also simplifying manufacturing techniques and reducing costs. The unitary device may be produced by a simple molding operation with the oxygen supply tubes then attached prior to or at the time of use.
