A system for securing an endo-tracheal or other tube in position upon a patient
includes a head pad and securing members which can be adjustably attached to the
head pad. The head pad is configured to support the head of a patient in a supine
position. The head pad includes a number of slits formed in each lateral side of
the head pad, such that a securing member can be threaded through any one of the
slits. The securing member is configured to be releasably and adjustably attachable
to the lateral sides of the head pad by being secured to itself via hook and loop
fastener portions disposed upon the member. The opposite end of the securement
member can include an adhesive layer or other mechanism for attachment of the end
of the member to the endo-tracheal tube or other medical article.
