Abstract
An endotracheal pressure monitoring and medication system includes an endotracheal tube having a primary lumen and a secondary lumen with a connector having an outside diameter configured to provide a frictional fit with a Y-tube and a tubular conduit with an outside diameter providing a frictional fit with a proximal end of the endotracheal tube. The connector includes a passageway extending from the tubular conduit to a fitting whereby medication can be applied or pressure can be monitored. A sleeve member extends about on a seal to the endotracheal tube with a cantilevered branch tube providing fluid communication with the secondary lumen. The cantilevered branch tube can be connected to a flexible tube member to enable either the application of medication or the monitoring of pressure. A pressure monitor is capable of measuring the pressure from either the opening of the secondary lumen in the trachea of the patient and/or the connector whereby gases can be sampled and pressure can be individually monitored or differentially monitored to provide a pneumotach measurement at an optimum location relative to the patient's airways.
