摘要：
A respiratory access assembly includes a distal plate having aport, which is adapted to be positioned in operable communication with anartificial airway of a patient. The assembly includes a distal plate having aport and a proximal plate which has a first port and a second port. The distalplate is positioned against the proximal plate in a stacked configuration, andeach plate is configured to move relative to the other. The assembly has anactuator which is positioned adjacent to at least one plate. The actuatorcooperateswith both plates to substantially prevent movement of the plateswhen the port of the distal plate is positioned in an alignment with at leastone port of the proximal plate and an object, such as a suction catheter, ispositioned through the aligned ports of the plates. The actuator cooperateswith at least one plate to permit movement of at least one plate when (a) noobject is positioned through aligned ports, and (b) when no ports arealigned. The assembly desirably has predetermined positions, which includea first open position, a second open position, and a third closed position. Inthe first open position, the port of the distal plate and the first port oftheproximal plate are aligned. In the second open position, the port of thedistalplate and the second port of the proximal plate are aligned. In the thirdclosed position, the port of the distal plate, and the first and second portsofthe proximal plates are blocked to prevent an object from being passedtherethrough. A method of using the respiratory access assembly is provided.
