WHAT DOES INTUBE MEAN?
The intubated patient cannot breathe on his own as a result of any disease or accident. In this case, the word intubated means keeping the patient alive with devices that will help him breathe. Patients are connected to a device and their breathing is supported. The intubated patient is connected to a special set of devices and continues to breathe through the mouth or nose. In every case where the patient cannot breathe adequately, it is necessary to intubate.
IN WHICH CASES IS INTUBE PERFORMED?
Intubation is performed due to the patient’s respiratory problems, inability to breathe sufficiently, or other reasons. The patient may or may not be conscious during this procedure. Breathing problems can also be seen in people who do not lose consciousness. The situation of intubation is revealed when people have complete or partial breathing problems. Therefore, the complaints of the patient for which he applied to the hospital may be an important factor in whether he is intubated or not. In other words, whether the patient can be intubated or not depends entirely on the severity of respiratory complaints.
CAN AN INTUBED PATIENT BE SAVED?
Although intubation is thought negatively by many people, intubation is a procedure that helps patients breathe and helps the treatment.
