Intubation is necessary when a patient is unable to maintain a clear airway or adequate gas exchange on their own. It ensures proper oxygenation and ventilation by providing a secure airway for mechanical ventilation or to protect the airway from aspiration in certain medical conditions or during surgeries.

What is intubated?

Intubation is a procedure in which a trained medical specialist inserts a tube into an internal or external opening or orifice.Usually intubation refers to the placement of a breathing tube to secure an airway. The most common type of this intubation is endotracheal intubation. In this type of intubation, an ET (endotracheal) tube is passed through the mouth or nose and into the airway to allow air to be passed through to the lungs. This can be done by "bagging," the use of a medical airbag to infuse air, or by mechanical ventilation in which the patient is hooked to a machine (ventilator) which passes air into the lungs by presets on the machine.
