An endotracheal tube flow control device includes a hollow tubular member, a selectively adjustable surface, and an endotracheal tube. The proximal end of the tubular member is connected to the endotracheal tube. The selectively adjustable surface is connected to the distal end of the tubular member. By selecting the position of the adjustable surface, the area of the air flow opening of the tubular member can be increased or decreased. The endotracheal tube flow control device allows a patient to control breathing by selectively adjusting the breathing area of the endotracheal tube.
