Abstract

MéTODOS E DISPOSITIVOS PARA ALIVIAR OBSTRUçõES DE VIA AéREA SUPERIOR. A presente invenção refere-se a métodos e dispositivos que são fornecidos, os quais são efetivos para remover uma obstrução em uma via aérea humana relacionada a ronco e/ou OSA. Em uma modalidade o dispositivo inclui um bocal que é adaptado para formar uma cavidade vedada dentro de uma boca humana, e um elemento alongado oco que tem uma primeira extremidade que é acoplada ao bocal e que está em comunicação com a cavidade vedada, e uma segunda extremidade que é adaptada para ser acoplada a um gerador de pressão negativa. Em utilização, um gerador de pressão negativa pode ser preso ao elemento alongado oco para criar uma pressão negativa em uma boca humana em resposta a uma via aérea obstruída, removendo com isto a obstrução. Em particular, este dispositivo é eficaz para puxar uma língua e/ou tecidos moles do paciente da via área superior para cima e para longe da parede posterior da faringe, para reabrir a via aérea.METHODS AND DEVICES TO RELIEVE TOP AIRWAY OBSTRUCTIONS. The present invention relates to methods and devices which are provided which are effective for removing an obstruction in a snoring and / or OSA-related human airway. In one embodiment the device includes a mouthpiece that is adapted to form a sealed cavity within a human mouth, and a hollow elongate member having a first end that is coupled to the mouthpiece and in communication with the sealed cavity, and a second one. end that is adapted to be coupled to a negative pressure generator. In use, a negative pressure generator may be attached to the hollow elongate element to create negative pressure in a human mouth in response to an obstructed airway, thereby removing the obstruction. In particular, this device is effective for pulling a patient's tongue and / or soft tissue from the upper area up and away from the posterior pharyngeal wall to reopen the airway.
