ABSTRACT:
The endotracheal tube stabilizer device consists of a head frame with three projections and a separate endotracheal tube clamping/securing device. The endotracheal tube stabilizer device is arranged structurally in a configuration such that an endotracheal tube can be securely positioned while allowing for freedom of movement of the patient and support of the ventilatory tubing. The three pronged head frame is composed of a hardened, yet flexible material which is padded, and is able to be sprung aside to allow for the insertion of the patients head, securing it in a firm, yet cradling manner. The superior-central projection of the head frame is positioned over the top medial aspect of the head. A left projection and a right projection, arising from the posterior aspect of the central projection, respectively are positioned over the left and right sides of the head towards the cheek area at an approximately 90 degree angle respectively being located in a predetermined angular configuration relative to the superior-central projection. The top of the superior-central projection of the head frame contains a device for securing the ventilatory tubing.
