2. INTRODUCTION
• Intubation is a standard procedure that involves
passing a tube into a person's airway. Doctors
often perform before surgery or in emergencies to
give medicine or help a person breathe.
• Most people recover from intubation with no
long-term effects. However, like any procedure, it
does have some risks.
• In this article, learn about when doctors use
intubation, how the procedure works, and what
side effects are possible.

3. WHAT IS INTUBATION?
• Intubation involves inserting a tube into a
person's throat to aid breathing.
• Intubation is a medical procedure that involves
inserting a flexible plastic tube down a
person's throat. This is a common procedure,
carried out in operating rooms and emergency
rooms around the world.
• There are several different types of intubation.
Doctors classify them based on the location of
the tube and what it is trying to accomplish.

4. The primary purposes of intubation
include:
• Opening up the airway to give oxygen,
anesthesia, or medicine
• Removing blockages
• Helping a person breathe if they have
collapsed lungs, heart failure, or trauma
• Allowing doctors to look at the airways
• Helping prevent a person breathing in liquids

5. COMMON TYPES OF INTUBATION
1.Nasogastric intubation
2.Fiber-optic intubation
3.Endotracheal intubation

6. 1.Nasogastric intubation
which involves passing the tube through the nose and into the
stomach to remove air, or to feed or provide medications to the
person.

7. 2.Endotracheal intubation
where the tube passes through the nose or mouth
into the trachea to help a person breathe while
under anesthesia or due to a distressed airway

10. 3.Fiber-optic intubation
In which a doctor inserts the tube into the throat to examine the
throat or assist endotracheal intubation when a person cannot
extend or flex their head.

11. PROCEDURE
• The intubation procedure will vary depending on its purpose
and whether it occurs in an operating room or an emergency
situation.
• In the operating room or another controlled setting, a doctor
will typically sedate the person, using an anesthetic. The
doctor will then insert an instrument called a laryngoscope into
the person's mouth to aid insertion of the flexible tubing.
• The doctor uses the laryngoscope to locate sensitive tissues,
such as the vocal cords, and avoid damaging them. If the
doctor is having trouble seeing, they may insert a tiny camera
to help guide them.
• In the operating room, doctors usually use intubation to help a
person breathe while they are under anesthesia.

12. Contd…
• Once they have inserted the tube, a doctor will
listen to the person's breathing to make sure the
tube is in the correct spot. The tube is typically
attached to a ventilator.
• When the person no longer has difficulty
breathing, the doctor will remove the tube from
the person's throat.
• In emergencies, a paramedic may need to perform
intubation to save a person's life. Emergency
intubation can have some risks.

13. SIDE EFFECTS
• Intubation may cause a sore throat or sinusitis.
• Potential side effects and complications of intubation
include:
• Damage to the vocal cords
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Tearing or puncturing of tissue in the chest cavity that
can lead to lung collapse
• Injury to throat or trachea
• Damage to dental work or injury to teeth
• Fluid buildup
• Aspiration

14. Contd…
• Mild side effects that may occur after the procedure
include:
• a sore throat
• pneumonia
• pain
• sinusitis
• speech difficulties
• difficulty breathing or swallowing
• In rare cases, a person may experience post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), especially if they were not fully
sedated or psychologically prepared for the procedure.

15. SUMMARY
• Intubation is a common procedure that can be the
difference between life and death in an emergency.
• In most cases, a person will fully recover from
intubation within a few hours to days and will have
no long-term complications.
• People can ask the doctor or surgeon about all of the
potential side effects and risks of intubation before
surgery. If a person experiences any severe or unusual
side effects, they should speak to a doctor right away.
