Abstract: A fluid removal device is provided for removing fluid from pleural space that includes a flexible, open tube with a slight resting curve. A first channel along a greater curvature of the tube contains a plurality of cannulas that can be extended into the pleural space to infuse medications. A second channel along a lesser curvature of the tube contains a line attached to the outer portion of the tube and tension placed on the line will increase the curve of the tube to assist in the placement of the tip of the tube in a desired location in the pleural space. The tube may be connected to a portable suction/fusion device via a click connect device. The tube may also include an improved tip and a tab for extending the cannulas maintains the corridor of stability.

Abstract: A kit for performing a retrograde endotracheal intubation procedure including a tracheal puncture device for puncturing the trachea of a patient, and for facilitating the subsequent passage of an attached guide-wire into and through the trachea, and an endotracheal tube, having a modified beveled end portion including a supplementary guide hole adapted to receive the guide-wire, for expediting the passage of the endotracheal tube through the anatomical structures of the larynx.
