What is Intubation? - The Basics Explained

We are talking intubation. In this lesson I start off with a quick overview of what intubation is and then talk about some of the different reasons in which we would intubate someone. Follow that up with a quick review of contraindications and then finally some of the complications that can come about from the intubation itself as well as the time being intubated.

Thanks for this. As a patient who was on ECMO for 3 mths, I was intubated and trached. Waking up not able to speak is beyond scary. I came across this video in an effort to understand what was done to me. Tip to the nurses, learn to read lips!

[Anonymoose]

Please never stop making videos! As a nursing student in COVID your videos have been super great as I dont have much clinical experience due to the pandemic! NEVER STOP

[LexiFosburgh-ejgq]

Eddie, I can't even thank you enough for creating these videos. I can't imagine how much time you spent gathering this information and presenting it in a way that is understandable. You are so knowledgeable! I'm a senior nursing student and will be starting in a surgical ICU as a new grad. I've already watched several of your videos, but my plan is to binge them all before my orientation starts :) thank you again!!!!

[heavymetalforge]

I'm currently in Paramedic school (nurse in a box) I've been watching these as supplemental study materials. Thank you! It helps to have the how's and whys on the other side of the equation.

[coolshortguy]

Starting my first ICU RN job next week. Super grateful to have videos like this to teach me this crazy important stuff before I hit the unit :).

[vanessasantana]

I love watching your videos! I started using them while in nursing school to prepare for exams, and now I just graduated & got a job in NICU! Really looking forward to continuing to use the concepts you teach to be able to be a competent nurse! Thanks again for creating such clear, easy to understand & visually appealing content!

[pattip]

I'm on television and these videos help so much in assessing my ot if they need to be incubated and go to ICU I am a nurse for only one and a half years so your videos help ty

[MGuitarde]

As Weaning begins with intubation, could you create a video for SAT and SBT?
Or generally the abcdef Package?
Thanks man, great content as always

[shenitaward]

Thanks for this explanation, just in time for my current modules.

[davinross]

This was a very good respiratory video I’m taking my first class and it definitely helped a lot thank you for posting this video because I should help me a lot for my skills test coming this Tuesday that I need to pass

[chanyu]

I am 3 weeks in ICU thanks for these videos
I also wanted to check have you done a intubation grading video

[WendyDarling]

Only thing I have to say is make sure you pick a MPOA that you trust to follow your wishes!! Having a family member change the code status last minute is something I see often. That to me is one of the hardest things about working in the ICU.

[bandanagyawali]

I love your videos. Can you please go over some common bedside procedures that nurses do in ICU and more lectures on different systems.

[gracep]

Just a fact check: Routine EGDs never have intubated patients. These patients get MAC anesthesia which is mostly propofol. If things go wrong, nasal trumpets can be inserted. Never seen an EGD need to be intubated. The doctor can visualize and distinguish trachea from esophagus, and puts the EGD scope down the esophagus.

Also, at 5:35 you say bronchoscopy REQUIRES an ET tube in place to perform it. This is false. Doctors just guide the bronchoscope down the trachea instead of the esophagus. These are even done at bedside. Commonly, these are done by giving MAC anesthesia like Propofol.

[rotimioluwa]

Can you please do a video on intubated patients that are desaturating. For example how do you approach a patient on 100% FiO2 and is not saturating well.

[mustafashiker]

In respiratory failure we can use NIV to avoid it
It's not standard

[cjjohn]

Are all patients intubated during balloon artheoplasty?

[MedSurvival]

Applying firm, steady upward pressure at a 45-degree angle, the curved laryngoscope is used to lift the epiglottis and expose the vocal cords. Once the glottis is visualized, the operator will ask the respiratory assistant to place the endotracheal tube with the malleable stylet on the operator's right hand

[kurbicksan]

I'm thinking about going for Respiratory tech school, can you get sue by family or the patient if you make a mistake?
