ABSTRACT:
A coupling structure for placing a stethoscope and an endotracheal tube in gaseous communication, thus allowing an attending medical professional an enhanced ability to hear the breathing sounds of a patient in order to aid the medical profession to perform a nasal endotracheal intubation procedure while also providing the medical professional increased range of motion and protection from airborne pathogens and potentially dangerous bodily fluids, is described. A resonating membrane is positioned between the ends of the stethoscope and endotrachael tube to prevent air borne pathogens form passing into the stethoscope.
