ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube has detection devices including a temperature detector, ECG detector and the heart sounds and breath sounds detector positioned proximate the interior end of the tube. A chassis is postioned exterior the patient within audio and visual range of the user. The detectors are connected through the exterior end of the endotracheal tube to the chassis to transmit signals that are vital. The chassis has means to display and broadcast the visual and audio signals. A blood pressure sensing device is also connected to the chassis to display the blood pressure of a patient. The endotracheal tube has a cuff positioned proximate its interior end. A connector is connected into the inflation means to detect cuff pressure and to the chassis to display cuff pressure. The remote respiratory system is connected to the endotracheal tube and has detectors associated therewith to detect selected parameters of the respiratory system. The detectors are selectively connected to the chassis to display the detected parameters. The chassis has an internal power supply and is portable with the patient.
