It is usually given intravenously. I believe it can be given by other routes e.g. intra-muscular.
No it can not.
A nasogastric tube is placed through the nose and into the stomach.Nasogastric intubation
absence of ventillation
Placement of a tube into a hollow organ (such as the trachea).
Intubation is a procedure in which a trained medical specialist inserts a tube into an internal or external opening or orifice.Usually intubation refers to the placement of a breathing tube to secure an airway. The most common type of this intubation is endotracheal intubation. In this type of intubation, an ET (endotracheal) tube is passed through the mouth or nose and into the airway to allow air to be passed through to the lungs. This can be done by "bagging," the use of a medical airbag to infuse air, or by mechanical ventilation in which the patient is hooked to a machine (ventilator) which passes air into the lungs by presets on the machine.
Asymmetric breath sounds, particularly louder on one side, after intubation can indicate the presence of a right mainstem bronchus intubation. This occurs when the endotracheal tube is inserted too far, entering the right main bronchus, which can lead to ventilation of the right lung while the left lung is under-ventilated. Other potential causes could include a pleural effusion or a pneumothorax, but in the context of recent intubation, right mainstem intubation is the most common cause.
Intubation- only physicians can do it.
Intubation is done to help a patient breathe by inserting a tube into the windpipe. It can provide a secure airway during surgery, assist with mechanical ventilation, or protect the airway in cases of impaired consciousness.
Time Order/Process Pattern Ideas or events are presented in the order they occur. Sequences are told through dates, times, or numbers. Processes are explained through steps or stages.
The ICD-9-CM code for status post tracheal intubation is 96.7. ICD-9 codes are used to indicate diagnoses and procedures for medical billing.
Yes, my rectum is itchy after the anal probing.
Intubation. This refers specifically to an endotracheal (ET) tube. Some smaller or more temporary tubes that do not go down so deep may be used as well. Intubation generally does not refer to these, but to ET tubes only.
