LARYNGOSCOPY FOR VISUALIZATION AND MONITORING OF ENDOTRACHEAL ACTIVITY WITH IMPROVED PARAMETERS

Abstract

Laryngoscopy is a procedure used for surgical measures essentially during visualization of Larynx. These conventional devices are inserted in Larynx of the patient through mouth for getting the images of the tract. These results can be better interpreted if it may get added parameters of Temperature and pH of the Larynx. Therefore, there remains a necessity of an improved deliberation in the existing device, as visualization alone is least adequate for the laryngologist to have appropriate elucidation for effectual pathological diagnosis (for diseases like Tracheomalacia, Poly chondritis and Laryngitis etc). This Laryngoscope for Tracheal Diseases Diagnosis intends to facilitate efficacious diagnosis and interpretability of laryngeal diseases through a system that aims to monitor the pH (± 0.1pH accuracy) and temperature (readings having ±2°C accuracy) of larynx of the patient
along with the provision of video visualization .Results for pH parameter of the suggested system is monitored at human saliva and Temperature is monitored at Room temperature. These tests for performance of this device intends to be an endeavour to reduce impediments in diagnostic procedures of laryngoscopy.
