How is a patient incubated?

Patient intubation involves inserting a tube into the trachea to secure an airway for ventilation. The procedure typically begins with sedation and sometimes neuromuscular blockade to facilitate ease of insertion. A laryngoscope is used to visualize the vocal cords, and the endotracheal tube is carefully threaded through the cords and into the trachea. Once in place, the tube is secured, and the patient's ventilation is monitored to ensure proper placement and function.
