Intubation: After rendering a patient unconscious with anesthetic medications a metal instrument called a laryngoscope is placed in the mouth. The laryngoscope has a light on it and allows one to look down the throat and into the airway at the vocal cords. The endotracheal tube is then passed through the vocal cords and then its cuff is blown up to occlude the trachea. The endotracheal tube is then ventilat.
