ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube holder is disclosed for holding an endotracheal tube at a fixed position within a patient's mouth before, during and after surgical procedures while permitting access to and visualization of the mouth. The holder is comprised of a variable diameter clamp made from a cylindrical section which frictionally engages the endotracheal tube at a position external to the patient's mouth and is dimensioned to not obstruct access to or visualization of the interior of the mouth. A strap engages the clamp to secure the endotracheal tube to the patient to minimize longitudinal, rotational, and lateral movement of the endotracheal tube within the patient's mouth. The width of the strap in proximity to the patient's mouth is equal to or less than the outside diameter of the cylindrical section to minimize the obstruction of the patient's mouth by the strap. The annular cross section of the clamp minimizes the obstruction of the mouth by the clamp.
