Abstract: An endotracheal tube holder for restraining an endotracheal tube in a patient's mouth includes a base that is strapped to the patient's head. The base includes a tube-securing block and clip-securing blocks. A separate, U-shaped clip is engagable in ratchet fashion to the base between the tube-securing block and the clip restraining blocks to secure the endotracheal tube to the tube-securing block.

Abstract: A detection device adapted to be attached to the distal end of an endotracheal tube for verifying the proper intubation of the endotracheal tube within the airway of a patient. The detection device includes a housing having a proximal end, a distal end and a hollow bore extending through the housing from the proximal end to the distal end. The bore forms a proximal orifice at the proximal end of the housing and a distal orifice at the distal end of the housing. A plunger having a proximal end and a distal end extends through the distal orifice of the housing such that the proximal end of the plunger is located in the bore in sealing engagement with the housing. The plunger is selectively slidable within the bore along a longitudinal axis. A gripping member is attached externally to the housing adjacent to the proximal end of the housing.
