What does intubate mean?
It simply means placing a breathing tube into someone's airway so that they can breathe with assistance. It is an advanced airway done by licensed medical care givers and goes into the trachea. Most tubes used for intubation of adults are cuffed, meaning they have an inflatable cuff at the end of the tube. In small children and infants, we typically use uncuffed tubes because the airways are small enough to prevent much air leak without a cuff. There are different methods by which one can intubate. The most common is direct laryngoscopy, by which a lighted laryngoscope is used to directly visualize the glottic opening and pass the tube through the vocal cords. Indirect laryngoscopy is another method of intubation, typically with the assistance of a fiber-optic video device. A common one is called the Glidescope. Using a Glidescope is a fiber-optic camera device that gives you a view on a small screen instead of looking directly at the glottic opening.
