Intubation

Intubation is a medical procedure that involves inserting a tube into the windpipe (trachea) to maintain an open airway or to administer certain medications or gases directly into the lungs. It is commonly performed in emergency situations, during surgery, or in critically ill patients who are unable to breathe effectively on their own. Intubation is typically done under sedation or anesthesia to minimize discomfort. It is a vital procedure that can help save lives by ensuring proper oxygenation and ventilation.
