the insertion of a tube into the larynx for entrance of air.
Passage of a tube into the windpipe to assist with breathing.
Insertion of a tube into the trachea (windpipe) to assist breathing or ventilation.
insertion of a tube such as for ventilation with general anesthesia
Placement of a breathing tube into the trachea, usually via the mouth, to assist breathing.
The insertion of a tube; for example, the passing of a tube from the mouth through the esophagus and into the stomach as a means of facilitating the accurate, oral dosing of a test animal with a substance.
The insertion of a tube into a body canal or hollow organ, as into the trachea or stomach.
Introduction of a tube into a hollow organ to restore or maintain patency if obstructed. It is differentiated from CATHETERIZATION in that the insertion of a catheter is usually performed for the introducing or withdrawing of fluids from the body.
Insertion of a breathing tube into the trachea during anesthesia.
the placement of an endotracheal tube into the patient's airway, usually for purposes of providing artificial ventilation; see artificial ventilation.
placement of a breathing tube into the nose or throat used with general anesthesia.
Placing a tube in the trachea to facilitate breathing while under an anaesthetic.
the procedure of inserting a tube into the trachea of a patient who is not breathing.
Procedure whereby an endotracheal tube is inserted through the nose or mouth into the trachea, through which oxygen is forcefully pumped by a ventilator. A cuff on the tracheal end inflates to create a tight seal in the trachea area (although the cuff isn't required with infants) and a tight-fitting mask is placed over the nose and mouth. This differs from a tracheotomy, in which a small incision is made in the neck area, near the "Adam's Apple," through which a shorter, more rigid endotracheal tube and cuff are inserted. Intubation is required if an acute asthma attack is not responsive to medication. It's not pretty, for the patient or the parent.
The process of putting a tube down someone's throat into the trachea; the tube is connected to a machine (a respirator, or ventilator) that pushes measured amounts of air into the lungs (and then lets it out again) to help the person breathe. This can save the life of a person having a severe asthma episode but also has many risks and possible complications.
Insert a tube through the nose or mouth into the windpipe to keep the airways open, prevent fluids from entering the lungs, and remove fluids from the lung.
To have an n-g or breathing tube in.
the insertion of a cannula or tube into a hollow body organ
insertion of a tube into any organ; usually refers to insertion of a tube in the larynx/trachea to provide air for respiration.
This is the technique of inserting an endotracheal tube. It is performed by ACLS personnel.
Refers to "endotracheal intubation" the insertion of a tube through the mouth or nose into the trachea (windpipe) to create and maintain an open airway to assist breathing.
Inserting a tube into the windpipe (trachea) to allow air to get to the lungs.
Placement of a breathing tube, either during surgery or while a patient is on a ventilator. The breathing tube is placed through the vocal cords into the trachea (windpipe), and provides a route to deliver oxygen to the lungs.
Insertion of an ET (endotracheal) tube [see definition above] through the baby's mouth or nose into the trachea (windpipe). While the tube is in place, a baby will not make crying sounds.
Introduction of a tube from the mouth to the trachea designed to keep air passage open
the insertion of a tube into the trachea (windpipe) through the nose or mouth to allow air to reach the lungs.
A process of placing a patient on a ventilator.
Passing a tube into the nose, mouth or trachea to provide an airway for anesthetic gas or oxygen.
Putting a plastic tube into the lungs through the nose and throat to allow artificial respiration in a person unable to breathe independently.
The passage of a tube into an organ or body structure; commonly used to refer to the passage of a tube down the windpipe for artificial respiration.
to pass a tube into an opening of the body. Typically, EMS providers perform endotracheal intubation, where an endotracheal tube is placed in the trachea (windpipe) to assist or provide ventilations for a patient.
placing a tube in the trachea (wind pipe) to enable artificial breathing; can be a lifesaving procedure.
the process of inserting a breathing tube through the mouth, nose or into the trachea to ensure an unobstructed airway to deliver anesthetic gases and oxygen.
placement of a tube; refers specifically to the insertion of a plastic tube in someone's wind-pipe (trachea) and connecting it to a breathing machine (ventilator or respirator)
the process of putting a tube into a hollow organ or passageway, often into the airway.
Insertion of a tube into a body canal or hollow organ, e.g., insertion of an endotracheal tube into the trachea for mechanical ventilation. Justice: Generally refers to fair and equal treatment. In ethics, it is the principle that one should act in such a manner that no one person or group bears a disproportionate share of benefits or burdens. Kidney failure: See renal failure. Life-sustaining antibiotic therapy: The use of any antibiotic against a life-threatening infection. Not a particular drug or family of drugs.
placement of a breathing tube in the windpipe.
insertion of a tube through the nose or mouth into the larynx and trachea to allow entrance of air or to dilate a stricture
Placing a tube in the trachea to force air into the lungs to assist breathing.
The insertion of a tube into the patient's airway to allow mechanical ventilation
Insertion of a tube through the nose or mouth into the trachea to maintain the airway
In medicine, intubation is the placement of a tube into an external or internal orifice of the body. Although the term can refer to endoscopic procedures, it is most often used to denote tracheal intubation. Tracheal intubation is placing a tube into the trachea.
