【 摘 要 】

Endotracheal tube should be safely secured to prevent potentially life-threatening complications like accidental extubation. Bearded patients are a challenge to the anaesthesiologists. Most of the methods of endotracheal fixation described in the literature were not suitable in our cases because of the surgical area involved (occipital in one case and face in the other). In our cases, tube fixation was done by a new method which has never been described in the literature before.
