ABSTRACT:
A releasable endotracheal tube stabilizing device having a retaining unit for adjustably securing the endotracheal tube, an adhesive head assembly of medical grade foam tape with slits in a centrally located integral attachment member for receiving and positioning the retaining unit, two D-shaped rings which are secured to lateral ends of the head assembly, and a stretchable neckband detachably connected to the D-rings that encircles the patient's neck for stabilization. The retaining unit is operative to secure or release the endotracheal tube while the neckband and head assembly remains in place. The neckband includes hook and loop surfaces to permit removal of a cervical collar and re-assembly of the stabilization device without dislodging the endotracheal tube.
