An improved medication introducing device for airtight connection between a bag-valve mask resuscitator apparatus, or other similar pre-hospital emergency respiratory device, and an endo-tracheal tube installed in a patient, the device comprising a central housing having a top opening, a bottom opening, and a minimum of two medication administering ports, at least one of the ports being an injection port for emergency administering of medications through pre-filled syringes into patients for which an intravenous line cannot be established, medications such as cardiac medications including atropine, epinephrine, lidocaine, and narcan, and at least one port being a nebulizer port for administering asthma medications to an intubated patient undergoing pre-hospital emergency, and where the improvement comprises one or more back flow reducing means to maximize the flow of administered nebulized medications to the patient. It is contemplated for the present invention to be made from chemically inert materials, to have a sufficiently low manufacturing cost so that it can be disposable, and for each port to have an airtight end cap. Applications may include, but are not limited to, pre-hospital emergency and rescue situations in which a bag-valve mask apparatus must be used to perform CPR on an intubated patient.

A device and method contemplated for vertically positioning infants who do not have the muscular control necessary to sit upright unassisted for extended periods of time. The device supports such infants in an essentially upright position so that they can more easily interact with people and objects adjacent to them without an adult or older child having to hold them and support them about the waist. The device comprises a rigid bottomless U-shaped support having a slightly rearwardly inclined inside back surface, a wide chest strap, flexible padding attached against the U-shaped support, and sides which are approximately half the height of its back. The bottom edges of the U-shaped support are outwardly flared and wedge shaped to prevent the device from unpredictably moving backward and laterally as a result of abrupt infant movement. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use with infants between the ages of three and eight months by workers in child care centers and nurseries so that the infants can be positioned to view the activities of older children; by parents who have the responsibility of raising twins, triplets, or even more infants at one time; by parents of a single infant when the parents need to accomplish tasks which would be impossible while holding the infant; and by those caring for children older than eight months who have medical conditions causing weakened muscular control that would not otherwise allow them to sit upright on their own for extended periods of time.
