ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube pacifier is provided. The endotracheal tube pacifier includes a nipple portion, bite portion and flange portion. A slot is formed longitudinally along the length of the nipple portion, bite portion and flange portion of the endotracheal tube pacifier. The slot is configured to detachably receive the sidewalls of an endotracheal tube even when an extremity of the endotracheal tube has already been received within a patient's mouth. The endotracheal tube pacifier is intended to reduce the physical anomalies associated with prolonged endotracheal tube intubation and to promote the natural sucking and swallowing reflexes of an infant undergoing endotracheal intubation.
