#intubation is a procedure that can help save a #life when someone can't breathe. A healthcare provider uses a #laryngoscope to guide an endotracheal tube (#ETT) into the mouth or nose, voicebox, then trachea. The tube keeps the airway open so air can get to the lungs. Intubation is usually performed in a hospital during an emergency or before surgery.
In the event you can't intubate easily, stop after 30 – 60 seconds. Ventilate the patient briefly before your next attempt in order to maintain oxygenation. As long as you can ventilate the patient you have time. Time to alter your technique, change the position of the head, or use a different type of laryngoscope blade. Keep your suction handy and use it. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
