ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube (18) is adapted to incorporate an elongated passage (40) along its length. Ports (48) are located along the elongated passage (40) and arranged to provide for removal of secretions that accumulate outside the endotracheal tube and between the endotracheal tube and a substantial length of the intubated pathway wall (50) when the endotracheal tube is in place. The positioning of ports (48) is such that direct contact of the port openings with the mucosa is avoided, thereby minimizing blockage of these openings. The elongated passage provides a shield for a suction catheter (54) which is insertable into the elongated passage (40) and used to transport the secretions out of the intubated pathway. The suction catheter (54) is easily removed to allow for cleaning or replacement.
