ABSTRACT:
A holder for retaining an endotracheal tube in a patient's mouth includes a pair of opposed members constructed to define a lumen when positioned adjacent each other, and a latching device constructed to allow the relative position of the opposed members to be adjusted between a first position in which said lumen is sufficiently small to securely hold the endotracheal tube, and a second position in which the lumen is sufficiently large to allow the endotracheal tube to move axially yet sufficiently small to resist radial displacement of the endotracheal tube. In use, the endotracheal tube is inserted through a patient's mouth into the tracheal lumen, the latching device is moved to its second position, the tube holder is slid over the endotracheal tube and its position adjusted axially along the length of the tube, and the latching device is moved to its first position to secure the tube holder firmly in a desired position on the endotracheal tube.
