Intubation involves inserting a flexible tube into a patient's trachea to secure their airway. First, ensure the patient is positioned properly, usually in the supine position, and administer appropriate sedation and paralysis if necessary. Use a laryngoscope to visualize the vocal cords and insert the endotracheal tube (ET tube) through the cords into the trachea. Confirm placement by checking for bilateral breath sounds and utilizing capnography to ensure proper ventilation.
