Abstract: A neonatal endotracheal tube stabilizer has a tube cradle, a tube fixation element attached to said tube cradle and a stabilization bar having a plurality of engagement elements. The stabilization bar extends on either side of the tube cradle to engage two cheek pads. The cheek pads each have a releasable engagement interface dimensioned to engage the engagement elements of the stabilization rod in at least one engaged position. When so engaged, the cradle firmly holds the endotracheal tube in a position selected by a health care provider.
