Claim:
1. An airway manifold comprising: a manifold body comprising an upper body portion and a lower body portion, wherein a distal end of the upper body portion and a proximal end said lower body portion are engaged such that said upper body portion is rotatable relative to said lower body portion, and such that a hollow interior space is defined thereby, said lower body portion having a lower body port open to said hollow interior space and a tapered diameter decreasing from the proximal end of the lower body portion toward the lower body port, said upper body portion including a plurality of ports continuously open to said hollow interior space, the upper body portion and the lower body portion defining a longitudinal axis passing through the hollow interior space and extending between the lower body port and one of the plurality of ports of upper body portion, an upper body first port of said plurality of ports being aligned with the longitudinal axis to define a substantially linear passageway when said upper body portion is at a first rotatable position relative to said lower body portion, and an upper body second port of said plurality of ports being aligned with the longitudinal axis to define a substantially linear passageway when said upper body portion is at a second rotatable position relative to said lower body portion, wherein in the first rotatable position, the upper body second port is angularly offset from the longitudinal axis, and wherein in the second rotatable position, the upper body first port is angularly offset from the longitudinal axis.
