intubations
Tube placement acts
Intubations is the plural of intubation, the medical procedure of inserting a tube into a patient's airway to maintain breathing.
Most commonly performed during surgery under general anesthesia or in emergency situations when a patient cannot breathe independently: The ER team performed three emergency intubations that night.
The procedure became widely discussed during the COVID-19 pandemic, when severe cases required mechanical ventilation.
