ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE ANCHORING MECHANISM Abstract Of The Disclosure To prevent shifting of the intubated tube (11), an endotracheal tube (11) is provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse apertures (14, 14') along its outer end portion. The apertures (14) are formed by securing a latex rubber strip (13) to the outer surface of the tube (11) at spaced locations or the apertures (14') are formed in a longitudinal ridge (18) of a tube (11) having an oval cross section. A twill tape (15) is threaded through the aperture (14, 14') next to the tracheostomy incision and the ends of the tape (15) are tied behind the neck of the patient. If the tube (11) is inserted through the oral cavity, an elongated bite block (30) having a longitudinal reentrant side may be secured to the tube (11) with the twill tape (15).
