ABSTRACT:
A closed ventilator system includes a universal endotrachael tube adapter having a pair of interconnected hollow body members. One of the hollow body members includes a pair of interconnected air passageways coupled respectively between a ventilator and an endotrachael tube, where the air passageway coupled to the endotrachael tube includes a universal access port for receiving a measurement gauge or a suction catheter device. The other hollow body member is adapted to receive a valve which is maintained in a normally open position to permit air under pressure from the ventilator to be supplied to the endotrachael tube. However, when the measurement gauge or suction device is attached to the access port, the valve can be manually operated to close the passageway to the ventilator without closing the other air passageway to facilitate accurate breathing measurement or fluid removal procedures.
