ADDRESSES: The patent intended for licensure covers a mucus slurping device used to remove mucus before it reaches the tip of the endotracheal tube (ETT). A continuous aspiration endotracheal tube for subglottic secretions is fitted at its distal-most tip with a molded, hollow, concentric plastic ring with 3–4 (or more) small (less than l mm in diameter) suction ports, the latter positioned in the most dependent part of the ETT. A SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36557 suction line is extended to the tip of the ETT and suction was activated for approximately half of a second, synchronized to the early part of expiration; and repeated once a minute, or as desired. Studies involving intubated sheep showed that all mucus was cleared from test animal and that mucus samples collected showed no infections that typically put patients at risk for ventilator associated pneumonia.
