  • Medication administering apparatus for use with an endotracheal tube
    Patent number: 5947120
    Abstract: A substantially tubular body includes an open first end adapted for connection to a ventilator. The body further includes an open second end opposite the first end and adapted for connection to an endotracheal tube. An injection tube has a primary end and a secondary end. A pre-pierced, self-sealing injection port is disposed at the primary end of the injection tube and is adapted for insertion of the needle there-through and into the injection tube. The secondary end is connected to the body between the first end and the second end, whereby medication delivered through a needle inserted through the primary end will flow through the injection tube, into the body, then into the endotracheal tube, and will be atomized into a patient's lungs when the ventilator forces air through the endotracheal tube.
