Definitions
- the present disclosure generally relates to a capnography cannula that delivers oxygen orally and nasally and that permits sampling of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2).
- CO2 exhaled carbon dioxide
- nasal cannulas are used to deliver oxygen to patients who require assistance to breathe properly, to collect carbon dioxide samples from patients to monitor respiration, or to perform both functions. Such cannulas may be used when direct ventilation is not provided.
- a nasal cannula provides oxygen supply to the nasal cavity.
- Some nasal cannulas have breath sampling capability such that a sample of the patient’s exhaled air flows through the cannula to a gas analyzer to be analyzed. The results of this non-invasive analysis provide an indication of the patient’s condition, such as the state of the patient’s pulmonary perfusion, respiratory system, and metabolism.
- Capnography is the monitoring of the time-dependent respiratory carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, which may be used to directly monitor the inhaled and exhaled concentration of CO2 and indirectly monitor the CO2 concentration in a patient's blood.
- CO2 time-dependent respiratory carbon dioxide
- Capnography may provide information about CO2 production, pulmonary (lung) perfusion, alveolar ventilation (alveoli are hollow cavities in the lungs in which gas exchange is being performed) and respiratory patterns.
- Capnography may also provide information related to a patient's condition during anesthesia, for example by monitoring the elimination of CO2 from anesthesia breathing circuit and ventilator.
- a cannula for exhaled gas monitoring and oxygen delivery includes an oxygen delivery conduit entering the cannula and an exhalation conduit exiting the cannula.
- the cannula further includes first and second nasal prongs each comprising a channel directing exhaled nasal breath into the exhalation conduit, an oral scoop forming a cavity that is fluidly coupled to the exhalation conduit, and first and second ports fluidly coupled to the oxygen delivery conduit and opening toward the oral scoop.
- a capnography system in another embodiment, includes a cannula that includes an oxygen delivery conduit entering the cannula, an exhalation conduit exiting the cannula, an oral scoop forming a cavity that is fluidly coupled to the exhalation conduit, and first and second oral oxygen delivery ports fluidly coupled to the oxygen delivery conduit and opening toward the oral scoop.
- the capnography system also includes a monitor fluidly coupled to the exhalation conduit to analyze exhaled carbon dioxide received via the exhalation conduit.
- a method of capnography includes receiving, via an oral scoop of a cannula, an exhaled breath from a patient, where the exhaled breath includes carbon dioxide, and where the oral scoop is positioned proximate an oral cavity of the patient in an installed configuration of the cannula device.
- the method further includes directing, via a sampling line coupled to the cannula device, the exhaled breath to a gas analyzer, and delivering, via one or more oral oxygen delivery ports of the cannula device, oxygen from an oxygen source to the oral cavity of the patient while receiving the exhaled breath.

- a nasal cannula may provide a nasal breath sample for capnography via collected exhaled gases that are collected through prongs inserted into nasal cavities.
- the use of separate prongs for nasal exhalation sampling separates the collection of exhaled nasal gases from the actively delivered oxygen, such that the delivered oxygen does not significantly mix with the sampled nasal gases to permit more accurate measurements.
- patients can only or primarily breathe through the mouth and may exhale through both the nasal cavity and the oral cavity.
- sampling exhaled air through the mouth may provide a representation of respiratory function for capnography.
- any delivered oxygen may mix with the exhaled breath from the mouth, thus diluting the gas composition and preventing accurate measurements.
- an oral prong to capture exhaled mouth gases may be inserted into the mouth, similarly to a nasal prong, this may be uncomfortable for the patient and may interfere with the advantages of the nasal cannula, which typically permits patients to speak and eat and drink normally.
- Certain nasal cannulas may include oxygen delivery openings that are oriented towards the mouth to provide oxygen delivery.
- oxygen delivery arrangements are done with relatively low flow (e.g., 2-5L/minute oxygen delivery) and are not used in situations in which higher levels of oxygen delivery are needed and/or when nasal breathing is obstructed.
- the inspiratory flow rate of the patient is greater than what is being provided by the cannula, the patient will entrain room air into the lungs. This results in oxygen dilution, and the patient will not be receiving the precise amount of oxygen that is desired.
- an oxygen mask can provide higher levels of oxygen delivery, capnography measurements are challenging in conjunction with a mask. Accordingly, it is now recognized that improved systems and methods that enable capnometric measurement of exhaled CO2 while simultaneously providing adequate oxygenation and that may be used with higher flow oxygen delivery (e.g., up to 15L/minute) to a patient are desired.
- Present embodiments are directed to oral/nasal cannulas that are capable of providing oxygen to both a nasal cavity of a patient and to an oral cavity of a patient, thereby providing adequate oxygenation to patients, while also being capable of sampling exhaled carbon dioxide from a nasal cavity and/or an oral cavity of the patient.

- the cannula may also include an oral scoop configured to be positioned proximate an oral cavity of the patient and one or more nasal prongs configured to be inserted into a nasal cavity of the patient.
- the oral scoop and the one or more nasal prongs may be configured to receive exhaled breath from the patient.
- the exhaled breath may comprise exhaled carbon dioxide that is to be analyzed by a gas analyzer.
- the oral scoop and/or the one or more nasal prongs may direct the exhaled carbon dioxide into an exhalation conduit (e.g., second conduit system) which may be fluidly coupled to a sampling outlet of the cannula.
- the sampling outlet of the cannula may be coupled to a sampling line configured to direct the exhaled carbon dioxide to a gas analyzer coupled to an end of the sampling line opposite the end that is coupled to the sampling outlet of the cannula.
- the oxygen delivery conduit and the exhalation conduit may be fluidly isolated from one another to ensure that oxygen delivered to a patient does not mix with exhaled carbon dioxide received from the patient.

In this way, an amount of mixing between oxygen delivered via the nasal oxygen delivery ports 110 and nasal exhaled breath may be reduced and a patient experience may be improved. It should be appreciated that a cannula 100 having a particular nasal oxygen delivery port 110 configuration (e.g., arrangement of nasal oxygen delivery ports relative to the nasal prongs 60) may be selected for a patient based on certain physical characteristics of the patient (e.g., size of face, facial structure, facial geometry).
- FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the movement of delivered gas and exhaled gas through the oral scoop 62 of the cannula 100 during inhalation and exhalation, respectively.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the movement of delivered gas into the scoop 62 as in the example shown in FIG. 3 A and 3B.
- the flow of oxygen shown by arrows 130, may be delivered toward the oral scoop 62.
- the oxygen may be delivered as part of a continuous oxygen delivery.
- the oral scoop 62 of the cannula 100 may include openings 126 configured to align with the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 along the vertical axis 90 such that oxygen traveling out of the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 is directed through the openings 126 and into the cavity 66 of the oral scoop 62. In this way, the oxygen may be delivered to the oral cavity of the patient.
- the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 may be configured to deliver oxygen at a desired flow rate into the cavity 66 of the oral scoop 62, as described in greater detail below.
- the desired flow rate of oxygen through the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 may be based on an expected pressure or flow of an exhaled breath from an oral cavity of the patient.
- FIG. 4B illustrates the redirection of the flow of oxygen 130 relative to the scoop 66 as a patient exhales.
- the flow of oxygen 130 from the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 may be overcome by a pressure of the exhaled breath 131 from the patient.
- oxygen may be pushed or redirected out of the oral scoop 62 by the patient’s exhaled breath 131. That is, the pressure of exhaled breath 131 from the patient’s oral cavity may be greater than the pressure oxygen delivered to the oral cavity of the patient via the oral oxygen delivery ports 112.
- any oxygen which may be present within the oral scoop 62 during an exhalation phase of a patient may be redirected or biased out of the oral scoop 62, thereby limiting dilution of the exhaled breath 131 received by the exhalation conduit 114 and delivered to the gas analyzer 20.
- the sampled exhaled breath 131 does not mix with incoming delivered oxygen during exhalation.
- oxygen influx into the scoop 62 is temporarily overcome by the exhaled breath 131 pushing the oxygen out and around the scoop 62. This serves to separate the sampled exhaled breath 131 from the incoming flow of oxygen 130, permitting sampling of exhaled breath 131 from the mouth while simultaneously delivering oxygen towards the mouth.
- FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate an embodiment of a cannula 200 (e.g., cannula 14, cannula 45) configured to deliver oxygen to a patient’s oral and nasal cavities.
- the cannula 200 may include similar features to the cannula 45.
- the cannula 200 may include the plurality of sides 54 that define the housing 52 and the interior space 53, the first end 56, the second end 58, the nasal prongs 60, the oral scoop 62, the channels 64, the body 65, the cavity 66, the lip portion 67, the intake inlet 68 disposed at the first end 56 of the housing 52, and the sampling outlet 70 disposed at the second end 58 of the housing 52.
- the cannula 200 may also include the exhalation conduit 114 (e.g., second conduit system, exhalation conduit system) configured to receive exhaled breath from the patient’s oral and nasal cavities and direct the exhaled breath to the gas analyzer 20 via the sampling line 18.
- the cannula 200 may also include the primary conduit 116, the first set of secondary conduits 118 extending through the channels 64 of the nasal prongs 60, the additional secondary conduit 120 extending through the neck 63 of the oral scoop 62, the funnel 124, and the openings 126.
- the cannula 200 may also include a pair of slides 202 (e.g., plates) extending from the housing 52 toward the oral scoop 62. As illustrated in FIG. 5B, the slides 202 may be oriented at an angle 204 (e.g., non-zero angle) relative to the vertical axis 90 of the cannula 200, such that oxygen directed from the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 in a direction (e.g., downward direction) along the vertical axis 90 may impinge upon the slides 202 and be directed at an angle toward (e.g., across) the scoop 62 and toward the oral cavity of the patient.
- an angle 204 e.g., non-zero angle
- oxygen directed from the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 may be directed across a portion of the oral scoop 62 instead of being directed directly into the oral scoop 62. That is, by employing the slides 202, oxygen delivered via the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 may be directed at least partially along the longitudinal axis 94 toward the oral cavity of the patient, and an amount of oxygen entrained into the exhalation conduit 114 may be limited during an exhalation phase of the patient.
- the slides 202 may be configured to reduce a flow rate or velocity of the oxygen directed out of the oral oxygen delivery ports 112.
- the flow rate or pressure of the patient’s exhaled breath may more easily bias oxygen away from the oral scoop 62 and/or the exhalation conduit 114, thereby limiting an amount of dilution of the exhaled breath entrained into the exhalation conduit 114. That is, by reducing the flow rate of oxygen using the slides 202, redirection of the oxygen via the patient’ s exhaled breath may be more easily achieved due to the reduced flow rate or velocity of the oxygen from the oral oxygen delivery ports 112.
- FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate an embodiment of a cannula 300 (e.g., cannula 14, cannula 45) configured to deliver oxygen to a patient’s oral and nasal cavities and having a closed scoop arrangement in which oxygen is routed outside of the scoop 62.
- the cannula 300 may include similar features to the cannula 45.
- the cannula 300 may include the plurality of sides 54 that define the housing 52 and the interior space 53, the first end 56, the second end 58, the nasal prongs 60, the oral scoop 62, the channels 64, the body 65, the cavity 66, the lip portion 67, the intake inlet 68 disposed at the first end 56 of the housing 52, and the sampling outlet 70 disposed at the second end 58 of the housing 52.
- the cannula 300 may include similar features to the cannula 100.
- the cannula 300 may include the oxygen delivery conduit 102 (e.g., second conduit system, oxygen delivery conduit system) configured to receive oxygen from the oxygen source 16 and deliver the oxygen to the patient’s oral and nasal cavities.
- the cannula 300 may include the primary conduit 104, the first set of secondary conduits 106 extending toward the nasal cavity of the patient, the second set of secondary conduits 106 extending toward the oral cavity of the patient, and the plurality of oxygen delivery ports 108, including the nasal oxygen delivery ports 110 and the oral oxygen delivery ports 112.
- the cannula 300 may also include the exhalation conduit 114 (e.g., second conduit system, exhalation conduit system) configured to receive exhaled breath from the patient’ s oral and nasal cavities and direct the exhaled breath to the gas analyzer 20 via the sampling line 18.
- the cannula 300 may also include the primary conduit 116, the first set of secondary conduits 118 extending through the channels 64 of the nasal prongs 60, the additional secondary conduit 120 extending through the neck 63 of the oral scoop 62, and the funnel 124.
- the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 of the cannula 300 may not align with the oral scoop 62 in a direction along the vertical axis 90 of the cannula 300. Instead, the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 of the cannula 300 may be oriented such that oxygen directed out of the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 is directed around or outside of the oral scoop 62 instead of into the oral scoop 62. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, each of the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 may be offset along the lateral axis 92 of the cannula 300 relative to the oral scoop 62 such that oxygen is delivered around the oral scoop and into the oral cavity of the patient.
- the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 of the cannula 300 are not configured to direct oxygen into the oral scoop 62, the oral scoop 62 of the cannula 300 may not include the openings 126 (see FIGS. 3A, 5A). By directing the oxygen around the oral scoop 62, the cannula 300 may limit an amount of dilution of the exhaled breath received by the exhalation conduit 114.
- FIG. 6B is a side view showing oxygen delivery.
- the oxygen in FIG. 6B is shown as being delivered downward and around the scoop 62.
- the oxygen delivery ports 112 are also offset from the nasal delivery ports 110 along the lateral axis 92.
- the oxygen delivery ports 112 flank the nasal delivery ports 110, such that the nasal delivery ports 110 are positioned between the oxygen delivery ports 112, which are closer to the respective ends 56, 58 of the cannula 300.
- the oxygen delivery ports 112 may be positioned relatively closer to the ends 56, 58 to ensure that the scoop 62 does not obstruct oxygen delivery.
- the cannula 400 may include similar features to the cannulas 100, 200, and 300.
- the cannula 400 may include the oxygen delivery conduit 102 (e.g., second conduit system, oxygen delivery conduit system) configured to receive oxygen from the oxygen source 16 and deliver the oxygen to the patient’s oral and nasal cavities.
- the cannula 400 may include the primary conduit 104, the first set of secondary conduits 106 extending toward the nasal cavity of the patient, the second set of secondary conduits 106 extending toward the oral cavity of the patient, and the plurality of oxygen delivery ports 108, including the nasal oxygen delivery ports 110 and the oral oxygen delivery ports 112.
- the cannula 400 may also include the exhalation conduit 114 (e.g., second conduit system, exhalation conduit system) configured to receive exhaled breath from the patient’ s oral and nasal cavities and direct the exhaled breath to the gas analyzer 20 via the sampling line 18.
- the cannula 200 may also include the primary conduit 116, the first set of secondary conduits 118 extending through the channels 64 of the nasal prongs 60, the additional secondary conduit 120 extending through the neck 63 of the oral scoop 62, and the funnel 124.
- each lobe portion 406 may be oriented at an angle relative to the vertical axis 90 (e.g., in a direction toward the oral cavity of the patient) such that oxygen delivered via the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 may be directed toward the oral cavity of the patient.
- a length of the slides 402 may be less than a length of the slides 202, and the angle 404 at which the slides 402 extend relative to the vertical axis 90 may be greater than the angle 202 at which the slides 202 extend relative to the vertical axis 90.
- features of the cannula 500 may be composed of different materials having different characteristics (e.g., elasticity, stiffness).
- components that interface with (e.g., contact, directly contact) the patient, such as the protrusion 504 may be composed of a material having a lower stiffness relative to the material of the plurality of sides 54. In this way, an amount of support and/or comfort may be increased relative to traditional cannulas.
- the flow rate and velocity of the oxygen directed through the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 and the nasal oxygen delivery ports 110 may be controlled to permit generally symmetrical distribution of oxygen flow via asymmetrically-sized and spaced apart nasal and oral oxygen delivery ports 110, 112.
- the difference in size between the ports 112 A, 112B and/or a difference in size between the ports 110A, HOB may be a total area of first oral oxygen delivery port 112A or the first nasal oxygen delivery port 110A relative to the second oral oxygen delivery port 112B or the second nasal oxygen delivery port HOB, respectively.
- symmetrical distribution of oxygen between a respective type of oxygen delivery port e.g., symmetrical distribution between nasal oxygen delivery ports 110A and HOB, symmetrical distribution of oxygen between oral oxygen delivery ports 112A and 112
- a respective type of oxygen delivery port e.g., symmetrical distribution between nasal oxygen delivery ports 110A and HOB, symmetrical distribution of oxygen between oral oxygen delivery ports 112A and 112
- the flow rate of oxygen within the oxygen delivery conduit 102 may cause the flow of oxygen to bypass the first oral oxygen delivery port 112A and travel toward a distal end (e.g., end of the oxygen delivery conduit proximate the second end 58 of the housing 52) of the oxygen delivery conduit 102.
- a first portion of the oxygen may be discharged out of the oxygen delivery conduit 102 via the second oral oxygen delivery port 112B.
- a second portion of the oxygen may impinge against the inner walls of the oxygen delivery conduit 102 before being redirected in an upstream direction (e.g., relative to the flow of oxygen into the oxygen delivery conduit 102), thereby creating turbulence and/or an increase in pressure within the oral oxygen delivery conduit 102.
- the turbulence and/or increase in pressure may enable some oxygen to be discharged from the oral oxygen delivery conduit 102 via the first oral oxygen delivery port 112A.
- the flow rates between similarly sized ports 112A, 112B may diverge as a result of the flow dynamics within the oxygen delivery conduit 102. It should be appreciated that the same fluid flow dynamics discussed above may apply to similarly sized nasal oxygen delivery ports 110.
- a decreased amount of oxygen may bypass the first oral oxygen delivery port 112A (e.g., relative to an embodiment in which the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 are similarly sized), and instead, may be delivered to the patient via the first oral oxygen delivery port 112A.
- a pressure within the oral oxygen delivery conduit 102 may decrease, thereby decreasing an amount of turbulence within the oral oxygen delivery conduit 102.
- symmetrical (e.g., substantially symmetrical) distribution of oxygen between the oral oxygen delivery ports 112 may be more readily achievable. It should be appreciated that the same fluid flow dynamics discussed above may apply to the nasal oxygen delivery ports 110A, 110B.
- Example 8 The cannula of Example 1, wherein the first and second ports are offset from the oral scoop along a vertical axis of the cannula such that oxygen is delivered outside of the oral scoop.
- Example 9 The cannula of Example 1, wherein the first and second ports are first and second oral oxygen delivery ports, and wherein the cannula comprises first and second nasal oxygen delivery ports fluidly coupled to the oxygen delivery conduit and opening away from the oral scoop.
- Example 13 The capnography system of Example 11, wherein the first and second oral oxygen delivery ports deliver oxygen into the oral scoop.
- Example 18 The capnography system of Example 11, wherein the cannula comprises: first and second nasal oxygen delivery ports fluidly coupled to the oxygen delivery conduit, wherein the first nasal oxygen delivery port is a different size than the second nasal oxygen delivery port.
- Example 19 A method of capnography, comprising: receiving, via an oral scoop of a cannula, an exhaled breath from a patient, wherein the exhaled breath comprises carbon dioxide, and wherein the oral scoop is positioned proximate an oral cavity of the patient in an installed configuration of the cannula device; directing, via a sampling line coupled to the cannula device, the exhaled breath to a gas analyzer; and delivering, via first and second oral oxygen delivery ports of the cannula device, oxygen from an oxygen source to the oral cavity of the patient while receiving the exhaled breath.
