- Inhalation and breath monitoring devices are generally well known. They include anesthesia masks for the administration of anesthetics such as nitrous oxide and for measuring carbon dioxide, exhalation flow and the like. Also personal respirators used in hazardous environments and personal masks used to filter the air from dust and particulate material. Inhalation devices have also been used for nebulization of various medicines for use in the treatment of various respiratory ailments. Typically such devices have been designed for their specific intended end use. Most often, monitoring means have not been included in an inhalation system.
- conscious sedation is an effective management tool for the treatment of painful injury.
- Such technique utilizes nitrous oxide and oxygen that is available in operating rooms and is becoming available in hospital emergency rooms to administer the anesthetic agent to put the patient into a state of conscious sedation.
- nitrous oxide and oxygen for conscious sedation is not currently prevalent in the management of pediatric trauma patients.
- televisions, videotapes, tape recordings, toys and the like are to be used to calm anxious pediatric patients while administering anesthetic, inhalation or

- the preferred embodiment provides a headset which is adjustable fit and can over the head of a child of any age.
- the sedation device of the present invention can be placed on the child by his or herself similarly to a hat.
- the headset preferably includes a pair of ear pieces which are adapted to cover the ear of the child and can include loudspeakers and integrated circuit chips used to receive and transmit data, pulse oximetry, sound and the like.
- Pivotally mounted to the ear pieces is an arm or yolk having positioned thereon a facial nose piece adapted to cover the nose of the patient.
- an inhalation and exhalation valve means for delivering anesthesia to the patient and for exhausting exhaled air.
- a pair of gas inlet and exhaust conduits are integrally formed in the pivotable yolk to deliver inhalation medicine or anesthesia to the valve from a source therefor.
- the exhaust conduit is preferably connected to a small vacuum pump to draw out exhaled air from the user.
- a monitoring device is most preferably mounted in the exhaust conduit immediately following the valve means.
- a small microphone is included preferably in a mouth piece attached to the pivotable arm separately incorporated as a microphone connected to the electronic circuit chip positioned in the ear piece.
- Microcircuitry can be included in the headset which activate through LED, infra-red, microwave or other remote control means interactive video or multi-media visual devices used to divert the attention of the user during a medical procedure.
- a communication system preferably wireless, is included in the circuitry positioned in the headpiece allowing a patient's parents, doctors or the like to communicate and provide assurance or instructions at a close or remote location.
- the microphone included in the face piece permits the user to remain in constant communication with others to enforce a higher level of assurance and reduce a user's anxiety.
- the sedation device of the present invention is made in a variety of attractive colors to provide an easily identifiable and friendly user interface so the child feels very comfortable in placing it on its head.
- the ear pieces can include a loudspeaker and a closed circuit audio receiver so that when the child places it on its head it will hear music or instructions in the voice of the doctor prior to treatment. Because the sedation device simulates the look and feel of a headphone and microphone as commonly seen by children in use in the broadcast industry it provides a very friendly and non-intrusive method of attaching a child to
- Use of the device is typically facilitated by the child's desire to put on the headpiece and simulate the use of headphones.
- the pivotable arm and mask are positioned above the head with a microphone
- the child can rotate the arm or yolk and mask into position in front of his or her nose and mouth.
- the flow of medicine or anesthesia can begin either manually activated by a doctor or automatically by activation of a microswitch positioned in the yolk arm of the sedation device. Normal inhalation and exhalation will continue until the child is in a state of conscious sedation permitting the doctor to commence the procedures that necessitated the visit. The doctor maintains the conscious level of sedation throughout the procedure .
- the anxiety level created by the medical procedure is significantly reduced and no new anxiety is created by the sedation procedure or the present invention because the device is child friendly.
- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the inhalation device of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a side elevation of a presently preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 3 is a side elevation of the present invention showing the integrated arm and mask in the out-of-use position
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the arm and mask integrated into a single unit.
- Figures 5 and 6 depict the present invention worn by a pediatric patient about to go under sedation.
- inhalation device 10 of the present invention includes a headpiece 11 preferably having a resilient head pad 12 to support sedation device 10 comfortably on the head of a user.
- Inhalation device 10 will be described hereinafter as it relates to its use as a pediatric sedation device. However, it is to be understood that the device can be used as a nebulizer, respirator or other inhalation means.
- Headpiece 11 can comprise a pair of head straps 13 and 14 which can be adjustably secured in pad 12. Attached to straps 13 and 14 are ear pieces 17 and 18, respectively.
- Ear pieces 17 and 18 are preferably made of a light weight, injection molded polyethylene or polystyrene in the form of an annular disk.
- This configuration is adapted to support integrated earphones over the ears of a user or can act as sound attenuation means for use in both medical and work environments.
- integrated into ear pieces 17 and 18 are loudspeakers 21 and 22 respectively.
- Acoustic pads 23 and 24 are shown positioned over the respective ear pieces 17 and 18. The acoustic pads enhance the comfort to the patient or acts as a sound attenuation media.
- Inhalation device 10 includes a mask member 30 which comprises a face element
- face element 31 positionable in front of the nose of the user and a pair of arms 32 and 33, respectively, which form a yolk. In some situations, it may be desirable to use only one of the arms.
- face element 31 is integrally molded with arms 32 and 33 to provide a unitary member as shown more specifically in Figure 4.
- Inco ⁇ orated into mask member 30 are fluid inlet conduit 34 and fluid exhaust conduit 37.
- Inlet conduit 34 is connected to a source of inhalation medicine or anesthesia such nitrous oxide and oxygen and exhaust conduit 37 is vented to the atmosphere or small vacuum pump to ensure removal of exhaled air.
- inlet conduit can be connected to a respirator filter pack having activated carbon, for example, or a source of clean air or oxygen.
- Incorporated into face piece 31 is a fluid chamber 40 which has incorporated therein a valve 42 which prevents the inlet fluid, such as anesthetic gas introduced into chamber 40 from escaping into the exhaust conduit 37 during inhalation. However, when the user exhales, valve 42 is removed from its valve seat and exhaust or exhaled gas is permitted to escape from chamber 40 into exhaust conduit 37.
- a gas monitoring device is located adjacent to chamber 40 and 42 to monitor the gas exhaled prior to entry into conduit 37.
- a number of conventional prior art gas inhalation/exhalation valves may be modified for inco ⁇ orated into mask 30 of the present invention.
- a device such as that shown in U.S. Patent 5,018,519, inco ⁇ orated by reference herein, is modified and used as the chamber 40. This type of mask is preferred because of its compactness and the efficient design of the exhalation valve inco ⁇ orated into the facial mask piece 31.
- the face piece of the mask 30 is very small in relationship to the face of a user. This permits virtually unobstructed view by the user prior to and during the administration of anesthesia or use of the device. It is particularly advantageous for use as a personal respirator in a work environment. Additionally, device 10 of the present invention stimulates the visual effect and fitness of an audio headset which is particularly useful for application to a pediatric sedation device.
- arms 32 and 33 of mask member 30 form a yolk which is pivotally mounted to ear pieces 17 and 18, respectively, by means of annular pivot flanges 44 and 46, respectively. While any type of rotatable mounting means can be used for this pu ⁇ ose, it is desirable that such mounting provide rotational friction so that mask element 30 can be maintained in the out of use position shown more specifically in Figure 3.
- pivot valve 36 used to pivotally connect inlet line 34 with a source of anesthesia, inhalation medicine or a respirator filtration means not shown.
- pivot valve 38 is included on arm 33 to pivotally connect exhaust conduit 37 with a small vacuum pump, not shown. Pivot valves 36 and 38 facilitate the pivoting of mask element 30 from the out-of-use position of the
- a small integrated circuit 47 is positioned within one or both ear pieces 17 or 18.
- Integrated circuit 47 includes receiver and transmitter circuits for communications by and between the user and others.
- Integrated circuit 47 is electrically connected with speakers 21 and 22 positioned behind acoustic pads 23 and 24, respectively.
- microphone 51 which is movably positionable to in front of a user's mouth.
- an infra-red or LED module 52 electrically connected to integrated circuit 47 which can be used to activate an interactive video or other multi-media device to be used to divert patient's attention from the medical procedure or for activating a peripheral device.
- Interactive devices such as television, audio visuals and the like can be activated by such module.
- scanning LEDs can be positioned on face piece element 31 to follow the user's eye movement if they wander away from the video.
- integrated circuit 47 includes its own wireless communication and battery supply packet. However, in order to reduce the initial costs of such unit direct electrical connection is accomplished through external wires 53 and 54 shown on Figures 5 and 6, respectively. In such case it is often desirable to include an integrated circuit or circuit means in each of the ear pieces to reduce wiring complication through the headset.
