Abstract
An apparatus and method for determining the intratracheal pressure of a patient intubated with an endotracheal tube. An infusion conduit has a first end at the proximal end of the endotracheal tube and a second end proximate to the distal end of the endotracheal tube. The first end of the infusion conduit is connectable to a pressure sensing unit. A fluid source flows a gaseous or liquid fluid through the infusion conduit to maintain the patency of the infusion conduit from the first end to the second end and to allow the pressure obtained at the second end of the infusion conduit to be used to determine the intratracheal pressure of the subject.
