ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube stabilizer avoids the pain of repeatedly stripping tape from the face of a patient, which affixes an endotracheal tube in position, and avoids damage caused by continuous pressure on one spot of a patient's mouth and teeth on a bite block by providing a faceplate held in position by strands around the head, a wide slot in the faceplate and a mouthpiece slidable to selected positions along the slot. Thus the tube may be adhesive taped to the mouthpiece but the mouthpiece and its taped tube may be slid sidewise in the slot when deemed necessary for the welfare and comfort of the patient.
