ABSTRACT:
A slip joint of an endotracheal tube comprising a slip joint body and a ring adaptor into which the slip joint body is insertable in close contact, the slip joint body being provided in its side wall with a L-slot having an upper open end, a width capable of passing a catheter to be used and a semicircular portion at the other end, the ring adaptor being provided in its side wall with an inverted L-slot having an upper or lower open end, the same width as that of the L-slot of the slip joint body and at the other end a semicircular portion of the same size as that of the semicircular portion in the L-slot of the slip joint body, and the ring adaptor being rotatable around the side wall of the slip joint body such that the semicircular portions in the L-slot and the inverted L-slot form a circular hole which has a diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the catheter to be used and in which the catheter is hermetically inserted. By the use of this slip joint, there can be conducted, while supplying sufficient oxygen to the lung, the suction of secretions in the trachea and bronchi, determination of the position of the tip of a catheter inserted into the bronchi by a sound signal sent forth from the tip, determination of the pathological condition in the thorax by a sound signal sent forth from the tip of a catheter inserted in the bronchi, and collection of gas from the lung.
