Ventilation tube connection system

An improved ventilation tube connection system, comprising:

• a. a modified endotracheal tube with an endotracheal main tube and an end adapter attached to said endotracheal main tube;
• b. a hollow elbow connector including a rotating leg member and an L-shaped fixed leg member, said fixed leg member including a perpendicularly aligned short leg section and a perpendicularly aligned long leg section, said rotating leg member being coupled to and allowed to freely rotate around said short leg section;
• c. means to selectively secure said end adapter and said rotating leg member together;
• d. a hollow modified ventilation tube including a rotating coupler adjustably connected to a main body, said main body capable of being selectively connected to a ventilator, said rotating coupler able to selectively receive said fixed leg member;
• and,
• e. means to selectively secure said rotating coupler and said fixed leg member together.

An improved ventilation tube connection system, comprising:

• a modified endoiracheal tube with an endotrachcal main tube and an end adapter attached to said endotracheal main tube;
• b. a hollow elbow connector including a rotating leg member and an L-shaped fixed leg member, said fixed leg member including a perpendicularly aligned short leg section and a perpendicularly aligned long leg section, said rotating leg member being coupled to and allowed to freely rotate around said short leg section;
• c. a first rotating collar disposed around said rotating leg member and a key formed on said end adapter and a slot formed on said rotating leg member;
• said first rotating collar including a spiral groove formed on its inside surface which engages said key so that when said end adapter is connected to said rotating leg member, said first rotating collar may be rotated to apply force against said key to hold said end adapter on said rotating leg member;
• d. a hollow modified ventilation tube including a rotating coupler adjustably connected to a main body, said main body capable of being selectively connected to a ventilator, said rotating coupler able to selectively receive said fixed leg member;
• and,
• e. a second rotating collar disposed around said rotating coupler and a slot formed on said rotating coupler and key formed on said fixed leg member, whereby when said fixed leg member is connected to said rotating coupler, said key is disposed in said slot and said second collar may be rotated to selectively apply force against said key and hold said fixed leg member on said rotating coupler.
