ABSTRACT:
A gas insufflation and suction apparatus is provided for communication with a patient's trachea. The apparatus includes a gas catheter and a suction catheter. When supplying a suitable gas having a desired oxygen concentration to the patient, an output end of the gas catheter is moved past a Y-connector through a T-member into the patient's trachea. After removal of the gas catheter from the patient's trachea, mucus or other substances can be removed from the patient using the suction catheter. With the gas catheter in its standby position, the suction catheter is moved past the Y-connector through the T-member and located in a desired position in the patient's trachea.
