Intubation
The placement of an endotracheal tube (ETT) into the trachea to maintain an open airway and facilitate mechanical ventilation.
Endotracheal intubation requires rapid sequence intubation (RSI) medications and laryngoscopy. The nurse’s role includes assembling equipment, administering medications, monitoring throughout, and post-intubation care.
