Abstract
An endotracheal tube alarm apparatus includes an inner cannula having an outer mating surface, the outer mating surface having a seated first electrical conductor, and a ventilator tube having an inner mating surface slidably coupled to the outer mating surface of the inner cannula, the inner mating surface having seated second and third electrical conductors extending circumferentially about the inner mating surface and each in complementary opposition to the first electrical conductor so that the third electrical conductor is in electrical communication with the second electrical conductor through the first electrical conductor.

An endotracheal tube alarm apparatus, comprising:
- an inner cannula having an outer mating surface, the outer mating surface having a seated first electrical conductor;
- and
- a ventilator tube having an inner mating surface slidably coupled to the outer mating surface of the inner cannula, the inner mating surface having seated second and third electrical conductors extending circumferentially about the inner mating surface and each in complementary opposition to the first electrical conductor;
- wherein the third electrical conductor is in electrical communication with the second electrical conductor through the first electrical conductor.
A tracheostomy tube alarm apparatus, comprising:
- an inner cannula having an exterior circumferential ventilator tube mating surface and an electrical conductor embedded in the exterior circumferential ventilator tube mating surface;
- a ventilator tube seated on the ventilator tube mating surface;
- and
- a detector in communication with the electrical conductor through a sidewall of the ventilator tube.
An inner cannula apparatus, comprising:
- a first electrical conductor seated in an outer surface of an inner cannula;
- and
- second and third electrical conductors seated in an inner circumferential surface of a ventilator tube, the ventilator tube seated on the outer surface of the inner cannula;
- wherein the second electrical conductor is in electrical communication with the third electrical conductor through the first electrical conductor.
