ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube stabilizer includes an elongate frame having a transverse tube channel with an opening sized to radially receive an endotracheal tube. Straps are provided for securing the frame to the head of a patient with the frame bridging and the tube adjacent to the patient's mouth. A clamp has a body and a distal foot. The clamp body is attached to the frame with the distal foot traveling in a arcuate path relative to the frame from an open position remote from the opening of the transverse tube channel to a select operative position blocking the opening of the tube channel. In this manner, with an endotracheal tube received in the channel, the distal foot, when in an operative position, clamps the endotracheal tube in fixed position relative to the frame within the slot.
