Abstract
A manifold assembly useful in patient ventilation/aspiration systems includes a stop cock valve with a hollow stem and a transverse slot arranged to permit the stem to be rotated between open and closed positions. In both positions, a ventilating pathway is maintained through the slot and the stem between ventilator and patient connection ports of the manifold. In open position the stem provides a travel pathway for a catheter between the patient connection port and an access port of the manifold. In closed condition, the stem seals this travel pathway.
