[An adapter for the intratracheal administration of a bronchodilator in intubated patients]

To relieve intraoperative bronchospasm, bronchodilators are often given via endotracheal tube. Most anesthetic adapters for dose-metered inhalers deliver the agent into the anesthesia circuit outside the tube. An unpredictable loss of drug due to sedimentation on the inner wall of the tube results. A simple and cost-effective device for delivering the agent near the tip of the tube is presented.
