An endotracheal tube holder with integrated bite-block includes a holding element for holding the endotracheal tube holder in patient's mouth position, a tube securing element protruded on one side of the holding element for securing an endotracheal tube thereto, and an intra-oral means which is a bite block for inserting into the mouth of the patient to prevent the endotracheal tube being bitten by the patient. The endotracheal tube holder is designed for dual function of fast and firm securing the endotracheal tube as well as protecting the endotracheal tube from movement, dislodgment and being bitten, in order to ensure the patient's airway during surgery as well as in postoperative or other intensive care units, or in any situation where patient's airway needs to be secured or protected.
