Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems that may extend the proximal length of a tracheal tube. A tracheal tube extension system may be provided that includes secure attachment features used to securely couple a tracheal tube to a tracheal tube extension. The tracheal tube extension may be attached to the proximal end of the tracheal tube and includes an upper end connector. The upper end connector may be used to couple the tracheal tube extension to a variety of medical devices such as a ventilator, a manual respirator, a nebulizer, a vaporizer, suctioning equipment, and so forth. The use of the tracheal tube extension enables an increase in working space in the area in front of the tracheal tube, thus allowing for the convenient and rapid access to the various connectors that may be coupled to the patient.
