Endotracheal Intubation

Critical Care Clinics, 1992
Endotracheal intubation can be accomplished by several different methods, which are discussed herein. Special considerations such as the obstructed tube, air leakage around the tube, tube replacement, and drug therapy are also reviewed, as are the indications for tracheostomy, the use of double lumen tubes, and fiberoptic laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy.

Prolonged Endotracheal Intubation

Chest, 1979
The advisability of prolonged oral or nasotracheal intubation is of continuing concern to physicians caring for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilatory assistance. Currently, in many health care centers, prolonged intubation is defined as being in excess of seven days.

COMPLICATIONS OF ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1970
The problem of right main stem bronchial intubation is discussed. This can be a result of accidental dislodgement. It will result in atelectasis of the left lung.A routine post intubation chest roentgenogram will establish the depth of intubation and allow for precise positioning using the suggested external reference points.

Neonatal endotracheal intubation

Archives of Disease in Childhood - Education and Practice, 2008
Despite the fact that neonatal endotracheal intubation was described more than 2000 years ago,1 it was only in the 18th and 19th centuries that it began to be accepted as a worthwhile technique for ventilating lungs at birth.2–4 Nevertheless, the practice fell out of favour and many other strange methods were used to resuscitate babies at birth.5 ...

COMPLICATIONS OF ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1958
Complications occurring after endotracheal intubation for general anesthesia were studied in 1,932 patients with special reference to the possibility of reducing postintubation symptoms by the topical use of hydrocortisone. This was added to the lubricant applied to the endotracheal tube in 322 patients.

Succinylcholine for endotracheal intubation

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1982
In the emergency department at Hennepin County Medical Center, succinylcholine has been used to assist difficult intubations since March 1, 1979. In this report, the first 48 cases are reviewed. In these 48 patients, complete relaxation allowing endotracheal intubation was achieved in 42.

THE VALUE OF ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1947
In a previous article 1 I described a method for the removal of accumulated tracheal secretions by suction through an endotracheal tube over a long period of time. I showed that this is a life-saving measure and can often be used when bronchoscopy is impossible and tracheotomy is not feasible.

Endotracheal Intubation: Complications in Neonates

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1977
Different opinions have developed on the use of endotracheal intubation in newborns and neonates for airway distress syndrome. The ensuing complications of the prolonged use of these airway tubes are drawing increased interest. This article reviews the case reports of 88 patients who received endotracheal intubation for airway problems and evaluates ...

Endotracheal Intubation in the ICU

2009
Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) often have acute respiratory failure and/or cardiovascular collapse. In addition, reserves of oxygenation and organ perfusion are limited in ICU patients in contrast to non-critically ill patients. Endotracheal intubation, which is one of the most commonly performed procedures in the ICU, is associated
