ABSTRACT:
This device allows for the rapid administration of liquid medicants into the lungs of a patient via endotracheal tube (34) without interrupting the ventilation cycles and without the risk of displacement of endotracheal tube (34) from the patient. An endotracheal insert apparatus (32) that consists of: ventilation adaptor apparatus (10), inserted between endotracheal tube (34) and the means for ventilation of the patient; medication injection apparatus (18); and medication tubing (24A), that is inserted down endotracheal tube (34). A syringe without needle is attached to medication injection apparatus (18) at twist lock adaptor (20). The liquid medicant is then forced from the syringe and travels thru medication tubing (24) and medication tubing (24A) and expelled at the distal end of endotracheal tube (34) thru ejection port (28). In one alternative embodiment, the addition of collapsible sheath (30) allows for the retraction of medication tubing (24B) from endotracheal tube (34) when medication is not being injected.
