When a tube is inserted down the throat, it is commonly referred to as intubation. This procedure is typically performed to secure an airway for patients who are unable to breathe on their own or require assistance with ventilation. Intubation can be done for various medical reasons, including during surgeries or in emergency situations. The tube, often called an endotracheal tube, is placed into the trachea to facilitate breathing.
