Why Endotracheal Intubation Is Needed
Endotracheal intubation is performed when a patient cannot protect or maintain their own airway, such as during cardiac or respiratory arrest, severe trauma, drug overdose, or profound unconsciousness. It is also required to deliver mechanical ventilation during major surgery under general anaesthesia or in critically ill patients with respiratory failure.
