INTUBATED Meaning and
Definition
-
Intubated is an adjective related to the medical procedure of inserting a tube into a person's body to assist with breathing or to provide medication or fluids. It specifically refers to the act of placing a flexible plastic tube called an endotracheal tube into the patient's windpipe or trachea through the mouth (or sometimes the nose).
The process of intubation is typically performed by healthcare professionals, such as doctors or nurses, and is often required in emergency situations or in patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own due to illness, injury, or undergoing surgery.
By intubating a patient, the healthcare provider gains access to the person's airway, allowing for the administration of oxygen or anesthesia, removal of respiratory secretions, or the use of a mechanical ventilator if necessary. The endotracheal tube remains in place until the patient's condition stabilizes, and it may be secured with tape or a device to prevent accidental removal.
Intubated individuals require close monitoring to ensure proper airway function, and potential complications associated with the procedure include damage to the teeth or mouth, injury to the airway, infection, and difficulty in weaning from the ventilator.
