An improved medication introducing device for airtight connection in a ventilation circuit or similar emergency respiratory device, including an endo-tracheal tube, the device comprising a tubular manifold including an upstream opening, a downstream opening, a top opening for an MDI (metered dose inhaler) device connection and a bottom opening for a mini-nebulizer device connection. This system provides quick and easy to use ports in a one piece component for introduction of medications and drugs to patients for which an intravenous line cannot be established. The two ports include attached closures or caps to prevent contamination and are sized for friction fit connection of commonly used medication devices. The MDI port includes a toothed lug which operates a mechanical counter in the applicator head of an MDI device. |
