“…The correct choice of blade size depends on numerous clinical parameters such as the patient's age, gender, weight, modified Mallampati score, Cormack-Lehane score, thyromental distance, sternomental distance, inter-incisor distance, neck circumference, Wilson risk score, and mean durations of the laryngoscopy and intubation (Türkay et al, 2016), and the conditions. Laryngoscope suppliers usually gave the main selection guidance parameters as the patient's age and weight.…”

Abstract:The anesthetic laryngoscope is one of the most popular medical tools for obtaining a clear view of the larynx and facilitates tracheal intubation. The number of anesthetic laryngoscope patents, coming mainly from the anesthesiologists, has rapidly increased. Each product has a specialized use for particular patients. However, it is unclear to what extent anesthetic laryngoscopy gained acceptance in operating theaters. By retrieving patent data for more than 90 countries from the Online Retrieval of Bibliographic Information Time-share (ORBIT) system, we reviewed the anesthetic laryngoscope patent literature published before July 6, 2015, and manually analyzed patent status, general development trends, areas of competition, technology patentees, and technology classifications. The study showed that the number of anesthetic laryngoscope patent applications has stayed at a high level in the last decade. Most patent activity was carried out in the USA, with China and a number of European countries trailing behind. In addition, the patent analysis provided an opportunity to understand the trends in the development of anesthetic laryngoscope technology, to identify shortcomings in clinical use of anesthetic laryngoscopes, to assist medical manufacturing specialists in improving the design and products, and to suggest to anesthesiologists modifications of the clinical signs of difficult tracheal intubation based on the new commercial anesthetic laryngoscopes applied in the front-line.

When performing microlaryngoscope surgery, surgeons must maintain their arm positions for a long time, which can cause arm soreness and affect the success rate of surgery. In this study, a novel tendon-sheath-driven upper limb exoskeleton with elastic joints (TULEE) is proposed and developed to support the arms of doctors wearing the TULEE. The functional requirements of the TULEE were proposed according to the needs of microlaryngoscopic surgery, and the overall structure of the TULEE was designed. Then, the positive kinematics of the TULEE were derived based on the D-H transformation matrices, and the accuracy of the positive kinematic control was verified experimentally. The reachable workspace of the wrist joint of the TULEE was analyzed, and the dexterous workspace of the wrist was analyzed by using the condition number of the Jacobian matrix. The control strategy of the TULEE was proposed based on the principle of admittance control. Finally, an experimental prototype of the TULEE was built, and the feasibility of the control strategy was verified by a servo control experiment testing a single joint and a combined control experiment testing multiple joints. Through simulated surgical experiments, it was verified that TULEE can follow the wearer's arm movement, provide assistance for the wearer's arm movement in the following control mode, and lock the joint rotation angle in the steady-state control mode to reduce external disturbances and reduce the risk of unsuccessful surgery.
