1. An apparatus for facilitating delivery of a fluid to the respiratory tract of a subject, comprising:
a fluid line substrate comprising a block of material having conduits formed therein for transmission of fluid, a support for stabilizing the substrate with respect to a supporting surface, and a subject port formed in the substrate opening outwardly of the block and arranged for delivery of fluid to a subject placed proximate the subject port, wherein the conduits formed in the fluid line substrate comprise a first conduit having a first conduit outlet which opens into the subject port, whereby fluid may be delivered to the subject port via the first conduit, and a second conduit having a second conduit inlet opening in the subject port, whereby fluid may flow from the subject port into the second conduit, the second conduit inlet being positioned distally within the subject port from the first conduit outlet whereby to induce a fluid flow to reduce rebreathing by the subject of fluid exhausted from the respiratory tract, wherein the support is a first surface of the block of material which is arranged to mount the block on a supporting surface and wherein the subject port is formed opening outwardly of a further surface of the block, the further surface being adjacent the first surface. |
