Catheter Mount

WhatsApp Order

A Catheter Mount is a flexible, extensible connector between the breathing circuit and endotracheal tube, tracheostomy tube, or laryngeal mask airway. It absorbs movement and tension during patient positioning and surgery, reducing the risk of airway device displacement. Integrated sampling ports allow continuous gas monitoring, while flexible design accommodates patient movement without compromising ventilation.

Description

Catheter Mount

PRIMARY CLINICAL & DIAGNOSTIC USES

1. Flexible Connection Between Breathing Circuit and Airway Device

Primary Use: Provides a flexible, extensible connection between the breathing circuit and the endotracheal tube, tracheostomy tube, or laryngeal mask airway. The mount allows for movement and positioning without stressing the airway device or circuit connections.
How it helps: For the anesthesiologist and respiratory therapist, the catheter mount provides flexibility that accommodates patient movement, surgical positioning, and equipment adjustments without dislodging the airway device. For the intubated patient, this means reduced risk of accidental extubation or airway device displacement during surgery or transport.

2. Reduction of Tension on the Airway Device

Primary Use: The flexible, extendable design absorbs movement and tension that would otherwise be transmitted directly to the endotracheal or tracheostomy tube, reducing the risk of tube displacement, kinking, or pressure injury.
How it helps: For the clinical team, the catheter mount acts as a shock absorber—protecting the airway device from forces that could cause dislodgement or trauma. For the patient, this means increased airway security and reduced risk of complications from tube movement.

3. Accommodation of Patient Positioning

Primary Use: Allows for changes in patient position during surgery or transport without disconnecting the breathing circuit, maintaining continuous ventilation and circuit integrity throughout position changes.
How it helps: For the surgical team and anesthesiologist, the catheter mount enables safe patient positioning for procedures requiring prone, lateral, or Trendelenburg positions without airway disruption. For the patient, this means uninterrupted ventilation during critical positioning changes.

4. Sampling Port for Gas Monitoring

Primary Use: Many catheter mounts incorporate a sampling port for connection to capnography or anesthetic gas monitoring systems, allowing continuous monitoring of end-tidal CO₂ and anesthetic agent concentrations.
How it helps: For the anesthesia provider, integrated sampling ports simplify circuit setup and ensure continuous monitoring capability without additional adapters. For the patient, this means uninterrupted monitoring of ventilation and gas exchange throughout the procedure.

5. Dead Space Reduction

Primary Use: Designed to minimize added dead space while providing the necessary flexibility, ensuring efficient ventilation without compromising gas exchange.
How it helps: For the respiratory therapist and anesthesiologist, low dead space design ensures that ventilation is effective and that end-tidal CO₂ measurements accurately reflect alveolar gas. For the patient, this means efficient ventilation with minimal rebreathing of exhaled gases.

SECONDARY & SUPPORTIVE USES

1. Extension for Airway Access: Provides additional length for accessing the airway in difficult positioning or for remote ventilation.

2. Swivel Connection: Allows rotation of the circuit without twisting the endotracheal tube.

3. Suction Catheter Access: Some mounts provide a port for suction catheter passage.

4. Pediatric Applications: Smaller catheter mounts available for pediatric and neonatal patients.

5. Transport Ventilation: Provides flexible connection during patient transport.

6. MRI Compatibility: Non-ferromagnetic mounts available for MRI procedures.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Disconnection: If mount disconnects, reconnect immediately; assess patient airway.
Obstruction: If the mount is obstructed, replace immediately.
Kinking: If kinking occurs, reposition; replace if patency cannot be restored.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: Plastic components are combustible; an oxygen-enriched environment increases fire risk.
Extinguishing Media: For fire, disconnect oxygen source; use appropriate extinguisher.
