ABSTRACT:
Patient connection apparatus is disclosed for connecting a patient to a respirator or anesthesia machine. The patient connection apparatus includes a nipple for providing an inhalation-exhalation stream, a Y-piece for dividing the inhalation-exhalation stream into an inhalation conduit and an exhalation conduit, a patient conduit for connecting the nipple to the Y-piece, a heat and moisture exchanger disposed in the patient conduit for exchanging heat and moisture with the inhalation-exhalation stream, and a nebulizer connector located between the nipple and the heat and moisture exchanger for connecting the inhalation-exhalation stream to the nebulizer. In another embodiment, the patient connection apparatus includes an inhalation connector arranged downstream of the heat and moisture exchanger for connecting the patient conduit to the nebulizer. In another embodiment, a powder inhalator is provided in connection with the nipple so that powder can be supplied to the patient.
