ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube is provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse apertures along its outer end portion. The apertures are formed by securing a latex rubber strip to the outer surface of the tube at spaced locations or the apertures are formed in a longitudinal ridge of a tube having an oval cross section. After the tube is inserted into the trachea, bodily shifting of the tube is deterred by threading a twill tape through the aperture of a tracheostomy tube next to the tracheostomy incision or the aperture of an oral endotracheal tube next to the mouth of the patient and tying the ends of the tape behind the neck of the patient. If the tube is inserted through the oral cavity, an elongated bite block having a longitudinal reentrant side may be secured to the tube with the twill tape by threading the twill tape through an aperture in the tube, wrapping it around the tube and bite block with the reentrant side engaging the tube, threading the tape through an aperture in the bite block, and tying the bite block to the tube before tying the tape behind the patient's neck.
