ABSTRACT:
A tracheostomy aspiration suction tube for management of tracheostomized patients with co-existing dysphagia allowing aspirated material to be collected and removed from the patient prior to traveling toward the lungs. The tracheostomy aspiration suction tube utilizes a primary cannula as a passageway for air to the patient's lungs, while also providing an insertion cannula capable of receiving an inflatable collection receptacle to be placed below the vocal cords. Upon inflation, the collection receptacle forms a seal with the patient's trachea, which effectively catches any aspirated material. Attached to the collection receptacle is a drainage tube connected an external suction device. The aspirated material is suctioned out of the collection receptacle and away from the patient. The collection receptacle can be removed and reinserted as needed.
