Various embodiments of a tracheal tube having spaced lumens and an associated ported adapter are provided. The lumens of the tracheal tube are spaced around the circumference of the tracheal tube to facilitate evacuation (e.g., suctioning and blowing) and other applications at various locations around the circumference of the tracheal tube. The ported adapter includes lumen extensions that may be inserted into the lumens of the tracheal tube, thereby forming a connection between the ported adapter and the tracheal tube. More specifically, hollow ports extending through the lumen extensions and the body of the ported adapter facilitate connection of the lumens of the tracheal tube with external equipment such as, for example, evacuation equipment for suctioning and blowing into and out of the lumens of the tracheal tube. |
