Nasal and endotracheal tube apparatus

摘要

This invention relates generally to tube apparatuses and more particularly to tube apparatuses that are connected to a source of pressurized air that forces air into the lungs of a recipient. The invention comprises an elongated flexible tube connected to a pair of nasal tubes positioned in the nares of the nose of the recipient. The ends of the elongated tube are connected to an air pressure control device. The nasal tubes include bulbous portions that seat and seal the nasal tubes in the nares. The invention also includes a yoke that adjustably connects the elongated tube to a headband on the head of the recipient. An alternate embodiment uses an endotracheal tube apparatus that is connected to the source of pressurized air for forcing pressurized air into the lungs of the recipient.
