Question 1

what is partial intubation?

Accepted Answer

Airway device: "laryngeal mask airway", which is an airway device that sits in the throat just above the vocal cords, used for general anesthesia. This is opposed to tracheal intubation, where the breathing tube passes through the vocal cords. This is less invasive, and often requires fewer medications, but it is not necessarily safer or less safe. You may still have sore throat, but shouldn't have hoarseness.

Question 2

how can intubation be measured?

Accepted Answer

It is confirmed : By visualization, appropriate breath sounds, measured end tidal co2 and stable oxygen levels. It can also be confirmed by chest x-ray or other scan.

Question 3

what is rapid sequence intubation?

Accepted Answer

Intubating fast: Rapid sequence intubation is done to minimize aspiration of gastric contents in to the lung.
When we preoxygenate a patient have suction ready and give induction agent like Propofol or etomidate and musclerelaxant and succnylcholine(anectine)  rapidly while cricoid pressure on neck is maintained and the intubate in 45 seconds.

Question 4

what exactly is transtracheal intubation?

Accepted Answer

Via the trachea: When placing a tube in the trachea to help a patient breathe and protect their lungs from gastric content is not possible or practical, an incision is made right beneath the voice box into the what is the called the cricoid membrane through which a tube can be inserted directly into the trachea and help the patient breathe.

Question 5

is intubation painful when its happening?

Accepted Answer

Usually no: For most patients, endotracheal intubation is done once the patient is asleep.

In some circumstances, it maybe necessary to perform with awake with local anesthetics and mild sedation.

Question 6

why do they do awake intubations? hows it done?

Accepted Answer

Depens (penicillamine) on reason: Intubations are normally done when you have received sedation and paralysis.  Ones done when you are awake are normally emergent when you are in respiratory distress.

Question 7

what is fiberoptic intubation and how is it done?

Accepted Answer

Carefully!: Intubation is the insertion of a breathing tube into the windpipe (trachea). Usually it is done through the mouth with an instrument called a laryngoscope. Sometimes it is necessary to use a fiberoptic bronchoscope, either through the nose or the mouth. The area will be numbed. The fiberoptic scope is used to get a good view of the vocal cords, then the breathing tube is advanced into the airway.

Question 8

i was wondering what are the purposes of intubation?

Accepted Answer

Many: Intubation refers to a procedure whereby an anesthesiologist or other qualified healthcare provider inserts a breathing tube into the lungs.  This can be performed during surgery that requires general anesthesia.  Intubation may also be performed in emergency situations if patients are unable to maintain spontaneous respirations.  Patients in the intensive care unit may also require intubation.

Question 9

what is the definition or description of: intubation?

Accepted Answer

Airway Maintenance : It is the insertion of a tube into the trachea to maintain a secure airway. This is essential for safe general anaesthesia.

Question 10

which  drugs are given during rapid sequence intubation?

Accepted Answer

Propofol,anectine: Rapid sequence induction means patient has full stomach. We give induction agent like Propofol or etomidate and Anectine rapidly to intubate a patient.
