After a person has been intubated, chest compressions are no longer interrupted to do ventilations. Instead, chest compressions are done continuously, and ventilations are done simultaneously at a rate of one breath every 6 to 8 seconds. This is because now that the patient is intubated, (assuming placement of the tube has been confirmed) the airway is open, so the rescuers no longer have to stop compressions to open the airway and check for chest rise.
The mnemonic "DOPE" is used to remember the causes of sudden deterioration in a patient who has been intubated. It stands for Displacement of the tube, Obstruction of the tube, Pneumothorax, and Equipment failure. This helps healthcare providers quickly assess and address potential issues that may arise during intubation.

Some medical procedures are very dangerous if the person has ate. Such as anesthesia being administered.
A person who has been discharged from hospital would leave an empty bed. This bed will need to be made before another patient can occupy it.

A tube to aid breathing may be inserted if the patient's airways or lungs have been damaged, as can happen during an explosion or a fire in a enclosed space.
No. No Chinook person has ever been melted.
Until recently, midazolam and fentanyl have been the drugs most frequently used to enhance patient comfort during local anesthesia. However, this combination can cause significant intraoperative respiratory depression.
