Patent ID: 8181652

Claim:
An infant positive pressure breathing apparatus, comprising: a source of breathable inspiratory air connected, in series, to a first length of smooth walled intersurgical soft flexible tubing and a one way valve, said one way valve limiting the flow of said air through the first length of said tubing except when a pressure of said air source exceeds the pressure of air in the flexible tubing at a location beyond the one-way valve, said one way valve connected in-turn via a second length of smooth walled flexible tubing not exceeding about 12 inches in overall length to a molded tracheal connector interface not exceeding about 2-3 inches in overall dimension for connecting to an open patient associated cuff-less tracheal device, said molded tracheal connector interface including a primary pressure release port located proximally on said molded tracheal interface with respect to its connection to said cuff-less tracheal device, a pressure monitor port located distally with respect to said molded tracheal connector interface connection to said cuff-less tracheal device, and a medication dispenser port located laterally with respect to said primary pressure release port, wherein when said inspiratory air source is actively supplying air, the associated infant patient may inhale relying on assistance provided from said air source and exhale normally using lung generated positive pressure and pass exhaled air around and past said cuff-less tracheal device and out said patient's nose and mouth.
