The new Connell airway, a modified nasopharyngeal airway, supports gas exchange, oxygen delivery, and end-tidal carbon dioxide monitoring during sedation. Early use showed minor issues but overall good performance and feasibility for airway management.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Respiratory Care
  • Medical Device Innovation

Background:

  • Effective airway management during sedation is crucial for patient safety.
  • Current devices may not optimally integrate gas exchange, oxygenation, and capnography.
  • Nasopharyngeal airways are common but lack integrated monitoring capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and performance of the novel Connell airway.
  • To assess its utility in supporting airway, oxygenation, and capnography during sedation.
  • To investigate potential complications associated with the Connell airway.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 10 sedated patients.
  • Oral placement of the Connell airway for airway support during procedures.

  • Monitoring of airway patency, oxygen delivery, and end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2).

    • Main Results:

    • The Connell airway provided a dependable passageway for gas exchange.
    • Facilitated oxygen administration and reliable monitoring of expired carbon dioxide (CO2).
    • Demonstrated good performance with few minor complications after initial use.

    Conclusions:

    • The Connell airway is a feasible and potentially valuable tool for airway management during sedation.
    • It integrates essential functions: gas exchange, oxygenation, and capnography.
    • Further investigation is warranted to confirm its clinical utility and benefits.
