Summary:Disclosed is a respiratory treatment apparatus that may be especially helpful for pediatric patients, though it may be useful for patients of all ages. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises an endotracheal tube that is physically coupled to a bronchial blocker in a non-concentric fashion. In another embodiment, the apparatus comprises an endotracheal tube that is physically coupled to a steering balloon apparatus. The endotracheal tube, bronchial blocker, and/or steering balloon apparatus may be non-unitary components that are attachable to one another with one or more attachment structures, and once physically coupled, may be put to use. The endotracheal tube and bronchial blocker and steering balloon apparatus may be selected from a plurality of endotracheal tubes and bronchial blockers and steering balloon apparatus, to create an assembled apparatus that meets the needs of the patient.
