A respiratory apparatus includes an instrument introduction section that is adapted for introducing an instrument into an artificial airway of a patient. The instrument introduction section has a distal end and a proximal end with an opening that allows for insertion of the instrument into the instrument introduction section. The instrument is movable through a passageway between the distal and proximal ends. The distal end is configured for releasable attachment with an artificial airway structure that is attached to the patient. Further, a valve is located in the instrument introduction section. The valve has a closed position in which the passageway is at least substantially isolated from the artificial airway of the patient when the instrument is present and is proximal from the valve. The valve at least substantially blocks the passageway of the instrument introduction section when the valve is in the closed position. The valve also has an open position that allows for the instrument to be moved through the instrument introduction section and into the artificial airway of the patient.       Recently Added Patents Methods for detecting variant nucleic acids by extension-dependent degradation of primers Constructing a labeled treemap with balanced layout Insert assembly and method for fluid flow reverse engineering Combustor assembly for use in a turbine engine and methods of assembling same Configurable clock network for programmable logic device Method and system for unified audio control on a personal computer Long life pyramidal filter for gas turbine inlet system   Randomly Featured Patents Adjustable rack mountable computer terminal mounting system Combination combine and hay head Apparatus for producing abrasion-proof coke forms from bituminous coal, brown coal or peat briquets Hindered-hydroxyl functional (meth)acrylate monomers containing di(meth)acrylates and compositions including same Softener composition for fabrics Quick change adapter Staple and anviless stapling apparatus therefor System and method for managing requests to document archives, routing requests and delivering requests to a variety of channels or delivery mechanisms Shoe Sliding grate for a burnt-material-cooling unit, and grating plate therefor © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
