A member asked:
Can anyone tell me is tracheal intubation a progress during awake or sleeping? is it painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually asleep: Tracheal intubations are usually after the patient is asleep and therefore patient does not have any pain during intubations. Awake intubations are very rare, and many of the nerves can be blocked sow there is not much pain even awake.
