Abstract
An endotracheal tube holder has a cord with a loop through which the endotracheal tube extends. A tube with slits surrounds the cord adjacent the loop to secure the endotracheal tube in the cord when the tube is placed in the mouth and throat of the patient. The remaining portions of the cord extend over the ears and under the chin of the patient. A lockable collar is positioned on the cord to tighten the cord under the chin so as to position and retain the endotracheal tube in the patient.
