Abstract
We describe the technique of using a modified clove hitch made of nasal cannula tubing
as a means of insuring the position and security of an endotracheal tube in the intubated
patient. Our experience indicates that this tie works well in both the prehospital
and emergency department settings. We suggest that the modified clove hitch is a valuable
adjunct to emergency airway management.
