ABSTRACT:
A method for providing continuous oxygen therapy to a patient having chronic breathing problems wherein the method includes the steps of providing cricothyroidal-endotracheal device and having a hollow tube of semi-rigid material having a plurality of spaced holes extending through the tube wall and connected at its proximal end to the distal end of a flexible hollow tube, in turn, connected at its proximal end to the distal end of a hollow semi-rigid tube for connection to an oxygen supply source for feeding oxygen through such connected tubes and the holes through the semi-rigid tube wall and a flange fixed to the outer wall of the oxygen supply tube, providing an oxygen source, creating a surgical opening in the patient, inserting the device through the surgical opening, positioning the device in the surgical opening and the trachea, connecting the device to the oxygen supply, delivering oxygen through the device, and leaving the device in the place in the surgical opening for extended period of time to treat the patient. In a further embodiment of the invention, the tubing can have a pleated section and an inflatable collar to assist in positioning the tubing within the trachea.
