➡️ Intubation Definition
Intubation is a key component of Airway Management. The process of maintaining ventilation in a patient by using an artificial airway to ensure that gas exchange can occur by establishing a link between the patient and the ventilator. This is important because we need to make sure that the patient's upper airway is free and clear of foreign substances so that air can flow into and out of the lungs.
➡️ The two most common types of artificial airways are:
1. Endotracheal tubes
2. Tracheostomy tubes
Each type has different uses and advantages. A tracheostomy involves making a surgical incision in the trachea for direct access. It's most commonly indicated for patients who may require long-term mechanical ventilatory support. But for this video, we're focusing on endotracheal intubation which involves the insertion of an ET tube, usually through the mouth, but it can be inserted through the nose as well. During a typical intubation procedure, patients are given anesthesia and a muscle relaxant in order to minimize discomfort and relax the muscles of the airways.
➡️ Tools Needed for Intubation
A laryngoscope blade is used to open the mouth so that there can be a visualization of the vocal cords. Then, a flexible plastic tube is inserted through the patient’s mouth, through the vocal cords, and into the trachea. Then it can be secured by inflating the small cuff that surrounds the tube with air in order to provide stability and help keep the tube in place.
➡️ Intubation Process
The process of intubation is typically the same in patients of all ages. The only difference is in the size of the equipment used during the process of insertion. For example, pediatric patients will require a much smaller tube than adult patients. Male patients may sometimes require a larger tube than female patients as well. The insertion of an endotracheal tube is a procedure that requires a trained and skilled professional, which is why it's most commonly performed by doctors and respiratory therapists. In some cases, health care providers may use a fiberoptic scope which provides better visualization and makes the insertion process much easier.
