A coupling arrangement for a system for endotracheal ventilation of a patient is disclosed. The system includes an endotracheal tube and a manifold configured for allowing ventilation of the patient via the endotracheal tube, which manifold has a first coupling element with an axial extent and with engagement element; and which endotracheal tube has a second coupling element with an axial extent and with engagement element; wherein the coupling arrangement is configured to produce, when the first and the second coupling elements are moved together in the axial direction, a locking engagement between the engagement elements.

Coupling arrangement

The invention relates to a manifold () for a closed system () for endotracheal ventilation and aspiration of a patient, having a first section () and a second section (), an opening () configured for allowing influx of a flushing medium to the first section (), and a passage () configured for allowing advancement of the catheter from the first section () and into the second section (). The invention is characterised by a valve body () arranged interiorly of the first section () and configured for optionally allowing blocking of the passage () in a first position and of the opening () in a second position.

Manifold

A valve device ( ) for a closed system for endotracheal aspiration of a patient via a catheter. The device ( ) comprises a valve chamber ( ) that can be connected to a vacuum source and to the catheter, a valve body ( ) arranged in the valve chamber ( ), a manually operated actuator button ( ) for the valve body ( ), a coupling ( ) engaging the valve body ( ) and to the actuator button ( ) for transmitting a movement of the actuator button ( ) to the valve button ( ), a spring device for holding the valve body ( ) in the first position. The device is characterised in that the wall ( ) that delimits the valve chamber ( ) comprises an opening ( ) for receiving the valve body ( ), that a resilient membrane ( ) forms a sealing of the opening ( ) within the valve housing ( ), that the resilient membrane is connected to the valve body and the valve housing ( ), respectively, and that the coupling ( ) extends exteriorly relative to the valve housing ( ).
