These frames are expensive and need to be made in a range of sizes for different patients. In the present invention the frame is of plastic comprising a planar pad, for securing to the forehead, and an arm projecting from the pad with an adjustable length. The pad has two parallel channels of circular section which extend across the entire width of the pad. Three lateral channels extend between the channels and are located off-centre across the width of the pad. The arm has two parallel limbs that are a snap fit in the channels, and a lateral cross piece that is either a snap fit in one of the lateral channels or extends along the rear edge of the pad. The arm has a flange at one end which receives a connector for the tracheal tube and has a lug that prevents rotation of the connector.
