What is a "tracheal intubation"?
A tracheal intubation is a medical procedure where a flexible tube is inserted into the windpipe, known as trachea, through the mouth or nose. This tube, called an endotracheal tube, helps maintain an open airway and allows for mechanical ventilation in patients who are unable to breathe effectively on their own because of anesthesia, serious illness, or injury. It is a critical procedure performed in emergency medicine, surgery, and critical care settings to make sure that the lungs are receiving enough oxygen.
