Laryngoscope nebulizer for application of chemostimulant to patient's larynx to stimulate involuntary cough reflex

摘要

A laryngoscope-associated arrangement provides for focused delivery of a chemostimulant from a nebulizer through a delivery conduit to a patient's larynx to allow a practitioner to directly observe the function of the patient's larynx during the course of delivery of the chemostimulant. This not only provides the practitioner with a visualization of whether the patient's laryngeal vestibule is functioning properly, but allows the practitioner to be satisfied that the chemostimulant is accurately delivered to the intended region of interest.
