A system is described herein for evacuating gas as it is leaking from a patient's airway. The system comprises a gas evacuation flowpath configured for collecting a gas flow escaping from the patient when inserted into the patient's airway. A vacuum source is connected to the gas evacuation flowpath. Devices that may be employed as part of the system and a method for evacuating gas from a patient are also described.

1. A system for evacuating gas as it is leaking from a patient's airway, the system comprising: an intubation device selected from an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway, the intubation device comprising an airway tube and a primary seal positioned on an outer perimeter of the airway tube, the airway tube comprising a first flowpath configured to administer a gas to the patient, the primary seal configured to be positioned in the patient's airway to block a space between the airway tube and tissue lining the patient's airway;a gas evacuation flowpath comprising one or more vents, the gas evacuation flowpath being separate from the first flowpath and configured to be inserted into the patient so that the one or more vents are positioned in the patient's mouth, the one or more vents being configured so that if a gas flow leaks past the primary seal, the gas flow is collected through the one or more vents;a plug through which the intubation device extends, the plug comprising a material suitable for providing a secondary seal that is separate from the primary seal, wherein the gas evacuation flowpath comprising the one or more vents extends through the plug;a vacuum source connected to the gas evacuation flowpath; andat least one sensor fluidly connected to the gas evacuation flowpath for determining the gas flow volume of any gas leaking past the primary seal or for determining a concentration of a measured gas in the gas flow. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one sensor is capable of real time, continuous monitoring of the gas flow that is evacuated from the patient. 3. The system of claim 2, further comprising: a gas monitoring device in communication with the at least one sensor, the gas monitoring device including a component chosen from a data logger, alarm system or monitoring screen;a vacuum pressure valve capable of providing a vacuum to the gas evacuation flowpath when it is placed inside the patient's airway; anda connection from the vacuum pressure valve to the vacuum source. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to monitor at least one of oxygen concentration, anesthesia concentration, CO2 concentration or pH. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the plug is configured to expand to fill the patient's mouth cavity to provide the secondary seal. 6. A system for evacuating gas as it is leaking from a patient's airway, the system comprising: an intubation device selected from an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway, the intubation device comprising an airway tube and a primary seal positioned on an outer perimeter of the airway tube, the airway tube comprising a first flowpath configured to administer a gas to the patient, the primary seal configured to be positioned in the patient's airway to block a space between the airway tube and tissue lining the patient's airway;a gas evacuation flowpath comprising one or more vents, the gas evacuation flowpath being separate from the first flowpath and configured to be inserted into the patient so that the one or more vents are positioned so that if a gas flow leaks past the primary seal, the gas flow is collected through the one or more vents;a plug through which the intubation device extends, the plug comprising a material suitable for providing a secondary seal that is separate from the primary seal, wherein the gas evacuation flowpath comprising the one or more vents extends through the plug;a vacuum source connected to the gas evacuation flowpath; andat least one sensor fluidly connected to the gas evacuation flowpath for determining the gas flow volume of any gas leaking past the primary seal or for determining a concentration of a measured gas in the gas flow. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein the first flowpath and the gas evacuation flowpath are both integrated into a multi-lumen endotracheal tube, the multi-lumen endotracheal tube comprising a first lumen and one or more smaller lumens, the first lumen being the first flowpath; and the one or more smaller lumens being the gas evacuation flowpath. 8. The system of claim 6, wherein the intubation device is a multi-lumen endotracheal tube comprising: a first lumen configured to deliver anesthetic gases into and out of the lungs of the patient;one or more outer lumens dedicated to providing vacuum pressure to evacuate gases that have leaked past the primary seal, the one or more outer lumens configured concentrically around the first lumen; andwherein the one or more vents are in fluid connection with the one or more outer lumens, the vents configured to collect gases that leak past the primary seal. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the plug is positioned on the multi-lumen endotracheal tube, the vents being positioned between the primary seal and the plug. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the plug comprises foam. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the plug comprises open cell foam. 12. The system of claim 6, further comprising a plug through which the intubation device extends, the plug configured to provide a secondary seal in the patient's mouth that is separate from the primary seal. 13. A system for evacuating gas as it is leaking from a patient's airway, the system comprising: an intubation device selected from an endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway, the intubation device comprising an airway tube and a primary seal positioned on an outer perimeter of the airway tube, the airway tube comprising a first flowpath configured to administer a gas to the patient, the primary seal configured to be positioned in the patient's airway to block a space between the airway tube and tissue lining the patient's airway;a plug through which the intubation device extends, the plug being separate from the primary seal and configured to be positioned in the patient's mouth, the plug comprising one or more vents positioned therein;a gas evacuation flowpath that is attached to or extends through the plug, the gas evacuation flowpath being separate from the first flowpath and configured to be inserted into the patient so that if a gas flow leaks past the primary seal, the gas flow can be evacuated from the patient; anda vacuum source connected to the gas evacuation flowpath; andat least one sensor fluidly connected to the gas evacuation flowpath for determining the gas flow volume of any gas leaking past the primary seal or for determining a concentration of a measured gas in the gas flow. 14. The system of claim 6, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to monitor at least one of oxygen concentration, anesthesia concentration, CO2 concentration or pH.
