ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for supporting a tracheal tube within the mouth of a user. The mechanism utilizes a facial cover. The facial cover is provided with a first portion which extends over the nasal bridge of the user and a second portion which extends over the chin of the user. The first and second portions are connected to one another leaving an opening for access to the nose and mouth of the user. The tracheal tube is suspended within the mouth of the user by an element, such as a bar, which extends and is linked to the facial cover. The bar possesses a requisite degree of rigidity to provide such support.
