Treatment non-rebreather assembly and method for delivering oxygen and medication

A treatment non-rebreather assembly for the separate and simultaneous administration of oxygen and an aerosolized medication to a patient, comprising:

• (a) a hollow connector tube including
• (i) a transport body having one end and an opposite end and one side portion and another side portion, said transport body defining a passageway extending between said one and opposite ends,
• (ii) an oxygen inlet port formed at said one side portion of said body,
• (iii) an aerosolized medication inlet port formed at said another side portion of said body,
• (iv) a reservoir port formed at said one end of said body for connecting to a reservoir bag,
• (v) a patient outlet port formed at said opposite end of said body for connecting to means for attaching said assembly to a patient, and
• (vi) a pair of one-way inhalation valves, a first of said valves being located across said passageway of said transport body between said oxygen inlet port and said medication inlet port and adapted to limit direction of flow to being from said reservoir port toward said patient outlet port, a second of said valves being located at said medication inlet port and adapted to limit direction of flow to being into said transport body through said medication inlet port;
• (b) means for connecting said medication inlet port to an external source of an aerosolized medication to permit the delivery of the aerosolized medication to a patient through said connector tube;
• and
• (c) means for closing said medication inlet port during the non-use of said port.

• (iii) an aerosolized medication inlet port formed at said another side portion of said transport body and opening into said passageway,
• (iv) a reservoir port forming an opening at said one end of said transport body for connecting said passageway thereof in communication with an external reservoir bag, and
• (v) a patient outlet port forming an opening at said opposite end of said transport body for connecting said passageway thereof to means for attaching said assembly to a patient;
• (b) means for connecting said medication inlet port to an external source of an aerosolized medication to permit the delivery of the aerosolized medication to a patient through said connector tube;
• and
• (c) means for closing said medication inlet port during the non-use of said port.
