Abstract:
A removable fiberoptic adapter is secured onto a respiratory-device, such as a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) or a ventilating airway mask, to allow for endoscopes to be inserted through the LMA while maintaining a connection to an oxygen source to sustain the patient as the patient breathes. The removable fiberoptic adapter includes an airway tube, an oxygen port, a carbon dioxide outlet, an implement port, and an adapter plug. The oxygen port and the carbon dioxide outlet allow for the introduction of air or oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide for respiration of the patient. The oxygen port and the carbon dioxide outlet are laterally connected to the airway tube. The implement port allows for the insertion of endoscopes or other medical implements through the respiratory-device. The adapter plug engages the implement inlet in order to restrict fluid flow through the implement inlet.

Claim (Index 11):
A removable fiberoptic adapter for difficult intubation with laryngeal mask airway comprises:\n an airway tube; an oxygen port; a carbon dioxide outlet; an implement inlet; a grasping flange; a mounting flange; an adapter plug; the adapter plug comprises a plug-mounting extrusion, a plug flange, an adapter orifice, and an implement-receiving channel; an adapter mounting tube; the oxygen port being laterally connected to the airway tube; the carbon dioxide outlet being laterally connected to the airway tube; the grasping flange being perimetrically and terminally connected to the airway tube; the implement inlet being centrally connected to the grasping flange; the implement inlet being oppositely positioned to the airway tube about the grasping flange; the mounting flange being laterally and perimetrically connected to the airway tube; the oxygen port and the carbon dioxide outlet being positioned between the grasping flange and the mounting flange; the adapter mounting tube being adjacently connected to the mounting flange; the airway tube being concentrically positioned within the adapter mounting tube; the adapter mounting tube being oriented away from the oxygen port and the carbon dioxide outlet; the adapter plug selectively engaging the implement inlet; the plug-mounting extrusion being centrally and normally connected to the plug flange; the adapter orifice traversing through the plug flange; the adapter orifice being concentrically positioned within the plug-mounting extrusion; the implement-receiving channel radially traversing through the plug flange, the plug-mounting extrusion, and into the adapter orifice; and the plug-mounting extrusion selectively engaging the implement inlet.
