Airway assembly

An airway assembly comprising:

• a first conduit comprising reinforcement to inhibit collapse of the first conduit;
• an expandable member coupled to a portion of the first conduit, wherein the expandable member is configured to inhibit fluid flow past the expandable member;
• a second conduit comprising a first end that extends past the expandable member, wherein the second conduit is coupled to an outer surface of the first conduit;
• and
• a third conduit comprising a first end that terminates before the expandable member, wherein the third conduit is coupled to an outer surface of the first conduit.

An airway assembly comprising:

• a first conduit comprising reinforcement to inhibit collapse of the first conduit;
• an expandable member coupled to a portion of the first conduit, wherein the expandable member is configured to inhibit fluid flow past the expandable member
• a second conduit comprising a first end that extends past the expandable member, stops greater than about 0.01 cm and less than about 0.5 mm from the distal end of the first conduit and wherein a portion of the second conduit is coupled to an outer surface of the first conduit;
• and
• a third conduit comprising a first end that terminates proximal the expandable member, wherein a portion of the third conduit is positioned external to a lumen of the first conduit.

A method for using an airway assembly comprising:

• removing a first conduit, a second conduit, a third conduit and an expandable member from an airway assembly package;
• coupling the second conduit, the third conduit, and the expandable member to the first conduit;
• and
• inserting the coupled components in an air passage of a patient.

A method of using an airway assembly comprising:

• inserting a portion of the airway assembly in an air passage;
• inflating a portion of the airway assembly against the air passage;
• delivering a medication to the air passage through a portion of the airway assembly;
• and
• inserting an instrument in a portion of the airway assembly.
