ABSTRACT:
An improved medication introducing device for airtight connection between a bag-valve mask resuscitator apparatus, or other similar pre-hospital emergency respiratory device, and an endo-tracheal tube installed in a patient, the device comprising a central housing having a top opening, a bottom opening, and a minimum of two medication administering ports, at least one of the ports being an injection port for emergency administering of medications through pre-filled syringes into patients for which an intravenous line cannot be established, medications such as cardiac medications including atropine, epinephrine, lidocaine, and narcan, and at least one port being a nebulizer port for administering asthma medications to an intubated patient undergoing pre-hospital emergency, and where the improvement comprises one or more back flow reducing means to maximize the flow of administered nebulized medications to the patient. It is contemplated for the present invention to be made from chemically inert materials, to have a sufficiently low manufacturing cost so that it can be disposable, and for each port to have an airtight end cap. Applications may include, but are not limited to, pre-hospital emergency and rescue situations in which a bag-valve mask apparatus must be used to perform CPR on an intubated patient.
